Fragrant Chicken Ragout with Hominy

Rarely does my wife ever exclaim about my food being good. I guess it's just that it is so good so often, I'm finding it difficult to meet those expectations. :) This dish I just through together cause I needed to use up some chicken and various canned good. Worked out well and smelled wonderful.
