Yield 1 crockpot, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 lb chicken breast, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 medium onion, chopped
1 small bell pepper, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, medium, seeded and chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
29 ounces reduced-sodium chicken broth
14 1/2 ounces canned diced tomatoes, drained
1 cup frozen corn kernels
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 avocado, medium, pitted, peeled, and cut into 8 slices
1/4 cup cilantro

Steps:

Heat 1 teaspoon oil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken with salt and black pepper. Add chicken to pot and cook, stirring often, until lightly browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to plate.
2. Add remaining 1 teaspoon oil to pot. Add onion, bell pepper, and jalapeño and cook, stirring often, until vegetables are softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic, chili powder, and cumin and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 30 seconds. Stir in broth, tomatoes, and corn. Cover and bring to boil.
3. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until vegetables are tender, about 8 minutes. Stir in chicken and cook just until heated through, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lime juice.
4. Ladle soup evenly into 4 bowls. Top each with 2 slices avocado and sprinkle evenly with cilantro.
5. Serving size: 1¾ cups soup with 2 slices avocado.
Notes.
Make a double batch of the soup and cover and refrigerate up to 4 days or freeze up to 3 months.
