Traditionally made with ground or cubed pork this version made with chicken makes a terrific low fat dish for a holiday buffet. Heat the oil in a heavy frying pan and saute' the onion, garlic, cubed chicken and red chile, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is lightly browned. Add the oregano, cumin and bay leaves. Pour the wine and water into the pan, cover and cook for 30 minutes. Put the hominy (with the liquid) into a large soup pot. Add the green chile and the chicken mixture (with the liquid) and cook, over low heat, for at least one hour, stirring occasionally. Remove the bay leaves and serve in soup bowls with the Holiday Red Chile Sauce NM.
