1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 small onion, diced
1 small red bell pepper, diced
2 (12.5 fl oz) cans chicken breast chunks, drained
1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chiles (such as RO*TEL®)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and bell pepper; cook and stir until onion has browned, about 5 minutes. Add drained chicken breast and flake it apart with a fork. Stir in taco seasoning and cook until until vegetables have softened, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Mix condensed soup, diced tomatoes, Greek yogurt, milk, hot pepper sauce, lime juice, oregano, chili powder, and cumin together in a saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer sauce for 10 minutes.
