Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by chopping the onion and bell pepper into small, bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Then, add the minced garlic and bell pepper, cooking for another 2-3 minutes.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Add Chicken and Broth

    Place the chicken breasts into the pot, followed by the chicken broth. Ensure the chicken is submerged in the broth.

  2. 4

    Season the Mixture

    Add cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, chili powder, and oregano to the pot. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

  3. 5

    Simmer the Chicken

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

  4. 6

    Shred the Chicken

    Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts from the pot and place them on a cutting board. Use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

  5. 7

    Combine and Serve

    Return the shredded chicken to the pot, mixing it with the broth and vegetables. Allow it to heat through for an additional 5 minutes before serving.
