1 can (8 oz) Muir Glen™ organic tomato sauce
2 cans (4.5 oz each) Old El Paso™ chopped green chiles, undrained
1 medium onion, diced (1/2 cup)
3 cups Progresso™ unsalted chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces

  • While soup is cooking, heat oven to 425°F. Brush both sides of each tortilla with vegetable oil. Stack tortillas, and cut into 1/4-inch strips. Spread in single layer on large cookie sheet, and sprinkle with salt; bake 7 to 9 minutes or until golden brown and crisp, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning. Cool.
