4 servings

Ingredients

2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large white onion, chopped, divided
3 limes, juiced
1 cup chopped cilantro, divided
2 jalapeno peppers, halved and thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups water
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium chicken bouillon powder
3 large firm-ripe avocados, cut into chunks
¼ cup crumbled queso fresco, or to taste

Instructions

Step 1
Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add chicken; boil until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 7 minutes. Drain.

Step 2
Run cool water over chicken to speed cooling process. Shred or finely slice chicken.

Step 3
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1/2 onion, lime juice, 1/2 cup cilantro, jalapeno peppers, and garlic until onion is slightly greenish in color, about 5 minutes.

Step 4
Combine 4 cups water and bouillon powder in a small bowl. Pour into the pot. Let cook until just heated through, about 5 minutes. Stir chicken into the pot.

Step 5
Ladle soup into 4 bowls. Top with remaining 1/2 onion, 1/2 cup cilantro, avocado, and queso fresco.
