Slow Cooker Chicken Posole

To be honest, I have no idea what real posole should taste like, but I made this up yesterday and we scarfed it down, so I'll make it again. I especially loved it with the sliced radishes, a squeeze of lemon, fresh cilantro, and avocado.

Ingredients
2 chicken breasts
1 small yellow onion peeled and diced (I forgot to put this in, and it was great)
2 poblano peppers chopped into small pieces
6 cups chicken broth (or somewhere in between with water)
1 can Rotel
2 or 3 7-oz cans diced green chiles (fire-roasted gives even more depth)
3 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1 can hominy (25oz?) drained and rinsed
garnishes: sliced radishes, limes, chopped fresh cilantro, avocado, cheese (monterey jack, cotija, whatever you have on hand)

Instructions
1. Throw all of the ingredients into a crock pot and cook on low 6-7 hours, or high 3-4 hours. 
2. 30 minutes before serving, shred the chicken and add the hominy.
3. Serve with sliced radishes, limes, fresh cilantro, avocado, and cheese (we used monterey jack or cotija)
