Preparation Steps

Cut the boneless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, then sauté them in a large pot with a drizzle of oil until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Stir for about 3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
Mix in the chopped bell peppers, followed by the canned diced tomatoes (juices included). Allow to simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
Add four cups of chicken broth along with all the spices. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer.
Let the soup simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes.
Ladle the soup into bowls and top with tortilla chips, shredded cheese, or avocado slices as desired.

Notes

For added heat, sprinkle in some diced jalapeños just before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container and add a splash of broth when reheating.
