Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings 1 ¼ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves 2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix, divided 1 tablespoon vegetable oil ½ cup chopped onions ½ cup chopped celery 2 teaspoons ground cumin ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper 3 (14 ounce) cans chicken broth 1 cup water 1 cup diced tomatoes 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro Toppings: 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese 1 cup crushed tortilla chips 1 avocado - peeled, pitted and diced Directions 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. I Made It Print 360 home cooks made it!
