Ingredients

  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1-1/2 cups scallions
  • 2 cups shredded chicken breast
  • 8 ounces from 2 small ripe hass avocados, diced
  • 1/3 cup chopped cilantro
  • 4 lime wedges
  • kosher salt and fresh pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon cumin
  • pinch chipotle chile powder
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 medium tomato
  • 5 cups reduced sodium chicken broth

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place a large pot on the stove and set the heat to medium.

  2. 2

    Pour in the oil, followed by 1 cup of chopped scallions and minced garlic. Cook for approximately 2 to 3 minutes, stirring, until they become tender. Then, add the diced tomatoes and continue to sauté for an additional minute until they soften.

    Incorporate the chicken stock, cumin, and chili powder into the pot, then bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes.

  4. 4
