Main Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 tsp ground cumin

  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • salt to taste

Equipment

  • Large Pot

Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic and stir. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Place the chicken breast in the pot. Add taco seasoning, ground cumin, and chili powder.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
  5. Reduce the heat and let the soup simmer for 20 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked.
  6. Remove the chicken and shred it using two forks.
  7. Return the shredded chicken to the pot. Add black beans and corn.
  8. Simmer for another 10 minutes. Taste and adjust with salt and pepper as needed.

Notes

Use good-quality taco seasoning for better flavor. Avoid overcooking the chicken to keep it tender. Add toppings like sour cream, tortilla chips, or avocado for extra flavor.
