Ingredients

6

6 servings

  • 1.25 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix, divided
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 0.5 cup chopped onions
  • 0.5 cup chopped celery
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 (14 ounce) cans chicken broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup crushed tortilla chips
  • 1 avocado - peeled, pitted and diced

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Lay chicken breasts evenly onto a baking sheet. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon taco seasoning mix.
  • Bake chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 30 to 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Allow to cool enough to handle, then shred or cut into strips.
  • While chicken is cooking, warm oil in a stockpot over medium-high heat. Cook and stir onions and celery in hot oil until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in chicken broth and water; bring to a boil. Add remaining 1 tablespoon taco seasoning mix, cumin, and black pepper. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until flavors blend, about 30 minutes.
  • Add chicken, tomatoes, and cilantro; simmer for 5 minutes. Serve soup hot topped with cheese, tortilla chips, and avocado.
