Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Cooking the Chicken

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until translucent. Add the chicken breast and season with salt and black pepper. Cook until browned on all sides.

  2. 2

    Adding Broth and Rice

    Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Add the rice and reduce the heat to low. Cover and let simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and chicken is tender.

  3. 3

    Shredding the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir.

    Final Touches

    Chop the avocado and chipotle pepper. Serve the caldo de pollo hot, topped with chopped avocado, shredded cheese, chipotle pepper, and fresh cilantro.
