  4. Add garlic and cook 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Stir in chilis, tomatoes, hominy, corn, chili powder, cumin, coriander, oregano, chicken broth, lime juice and white wine. Add chicken back to the pot. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cover. Let cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. After 20 minutes, add peas and salt and pepper to taste. Shred chicken with two forks. Garnish with cilantro and serve!
