2 cups Brown's Dairy lowfat or fat free milk

6 white corn tortillas

1 tbsp olive or canola oil

3/4 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, trimmed and cut into 3/4" chunks

2 small red bell peppers, seeded and diced

1 large onion, chopped

1 4 oz can chopped green chilies, drained

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tbsp chili powder

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp dried oregano

1 14oz can reduced-sodium chicken broth, defatted

2 15oz cans white hominy, drained and rinsed

1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1. Place a tortilla directly on stovetop burner, set a medium-low, and toast, turning frequently with tongs, until golden and fragrant, 30 to 60 seconds. Repeat with 3 more tortillas. Cut toasted tortillas into 1-inch-wide strips and set aside.
2. Season chicken with salt and pepper. In a deep sauté pan or Dutch oven, heat 1/2 tbsp oil over medium-high hear. Add chicken and cook, stirring often, until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
3. Add remaining 1/2 tbsp oil to the pan. Add bell peppers and onions season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add chopped green chilies, garlic, chili powder, cumin, and oregano; cook stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add broth and milk to the pan and bring to a simmer, stirring.. Stir in hominy, toasted tortilla strips and chicken.
4. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and sauce has thickened, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, toast remaining 2 tortillas as directed in step 1 for garnish.
5. To serve, stir 1/4 cup of cilantro into chili. Taste and adjust seasonings. Ladle the chili into bowls and garnish with remaining chopped cilantro, tortilla strips and lime wedges, if desired. Serve immediately.
