La Hacienda Mexican Chicken Soup image

I had been going to this Mexican restaurant, "La Hacienda," forever. I always ordered the huge bowl of chicken soup. I was shocked to hear that they were closing the restaurant, so I had to make my own makeshift version of the authentic classic. Enjoy!

3 -4 chicken breasts, cubed
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies
1 large onion, chopped
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

3 tablespoons jalapenos, chopped (i use the ones in jars)
