  • Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and cook until no longer pink and juices run clear, about 20 minutes; remove from skillet, drain, and cool. When completely cooled, shred chicken with a fork.
  • Heat remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until soft and transparent, about 5 minutes. Return shredded chicken to the skillet. Stir in chicken broth, water, chili powder, salt, and oregano. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for about 90 minutes.
  • Stir in hominy and cook until tender, about 15 minutes more. Taste to adjust seasonings, adding more salt and chili powder, if desired. Serve in soup bowls with a tostada shell. Garnish as desired.
