Ingredients

  • 2 organic chicken breasts
  • 1 jar Trader Joe’s salsa verde
  • 2-3 cups chicken bone broth
  • 1 cup ribboned sweet potato, (optional)
  • 1/2 lime, squeezed
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
  • ground pepper
  • Tortillas, (I use Siete grain-free tortillas)

Instructions

Chicken Verde Soup

  • Place trimmed raw chicken breasts in a medium pot and pour in the jar of salsa verde.
  • Cover and simmer over medium heat for about 15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Remove the chicken to a cutting board or plate and shred it with two forks.
  • Add the chicken bone broth back to the pot, then return the shredded chicken. Stir in the cilantro, ribboned sweet potato (if using), lime juice, and a pinch of ground pepper.
  • Reduce the heat, cover, and cook another 10–15 minutes until the sweet potato is tender and the flavors meld.
  • Ladle into bowls and garnish with extra cilantro, red pepper flakes, and sliced avocado if desired.

Homemade Tortilla Chips

  • Cut each tortilla in half, then cut those halves into quarters to make triangles.
  • Arrange the triangles on a baking sheet, lightly brush or spray with avocado or extra virgin olive oil, and sprinkle with sea salt.
  • Toast in a toaster oven on the toast setting, watching closely until crisp, or bake at 400°F (200°C) for 5–10 minutes until golden and crisp.
