  • 1 medium Onion Red or yellow for a flavor boost.
  • 1 medium Bell Pepper Mix in jalapeños for extra heat!

  • 3 cups Chicken Broth Low-sodium or vegetable broth works well.
  • 1 tablespoon Chili Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Oregano

  3. Fold in the shredded chicken and pour the chicken broth over the mixture.
