Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients
8 c nonfat chicken broth
2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
1/2 c onion, finely diced
2 tbs garlic, minced
1 jalapeño, minced, more or less to taste
1 14-oz can fire-roasted tomatoes with green chilies
1 c water
1 cube vegetable bouillon
1/2 tbs cumin
1 cup cilantro
salt, salt substitute and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions
Combine all ingredients except cilantro in a large pot and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 20-30 minutes.

Remove chicken and shred in a stand mixer or using two forks.

Return shredded chicken to pot and continue to simmer 5-10 more minutes. Season to taste and serve garnished with 1/4 c cilantro.

As a variation for those not on PSMF or keto, add a can of drained black beans and 2 cups of frozen corn with the shredded chicken. Serve garnished with your choice of sour cream, shredded cheese, crumbled tortilla chips and avocado.
