Instructions Jump to Ingredients ↑

  1. Chop the chicken breasts into 1/2 in cubes and sprinkle with the dry spices and mix well to coat.

  2. In a large, heavy bottomed soup pot, brown the coated chicken in hot oil 3-5 minutes, stirring often. Add the onion and garlic and mix well. Cook an additional 3-5 minutes until chicken is cooked through.

  3. Add the can of tomatoes and stir. Then add the jar of salsa and stir again. When this mixture begins to boil add the containers of chicken broth. Stir and bring to a boil.

  4. Add the beans, frozen corn and green beans. Note: may need to break the beans so they are bite sized (about 1/2 inch each).

  5. Bring to a boil again and reduce heat to simmer. Cook an additional 10-15 minutes until the beans and corn are tender.

  6. If rice is desired, cook separately according to package directions and add 1/4 cup to each bowl when serving.

  7. Garnish with chopped cilantro.

  8. Note: Omit corn and rice if you're on the South Beach Diet and increase beans to 2 cans. Also consider adding jicama for fiber and a lovely crunchy texture.
