Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon coconut oil
• 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, chopped
• 1 1/2 cups peeled and sliced carrots
• 1 1/2 cups finely chopped celery
• 1 1/2 cups finely chopped onion

• 8 cups (2 quarts) Chicken Bone Broth

Directions

Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the chicken and cook for about 8 minutes, or until no longer pink and the juices run clear.

Add the carrots, celery, onion, jalapeño pepper, and garlic. Simmer for about 5 minutes and add the chili powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, red pepper, and oregano, stirring well to blend the seasonings.

Add the broth and tomatoes and bring to a boil. Immediately reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 1 hour.

Notes

- Serve with 1 avocado, chopped, and 1/3 cup chopped cilantro as a garnish.
