  Ingredients

  • 3/4 pound chicken (poached yesterday in chicken broth)
  • 1 teaspoon oil
  • 1 small onion (halved and sliced)
  • 1/2 cup bell pepper (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup carrots (sliced)
  • 1/2 tablespoon flour
  • 1 chipotle pepper (minced)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • salt & pepper
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • cilantro leaves
  • baked tortilla chips
  • monterey jack cheese

  Instructions

  We heat a large pot with the oil and cook our onions over medium-low heat. After about 5 minutes, we add the red pepper and carrots and cook for another 5 minutes. We add the flour, stirring for about a minute, which will slightly thicken our stew. We then add the chipotle and garlic, some salt and pepper, and the cumin and stir for another minute. Finally, we add the chicken stock and raise the heat to medium. We bring the mixture to a boil, partially cover, and simmer for about 10 minutes. We want the vegetables to be tender.

  Meanwhile, we slice the cooked chicken thinly. When the vegetables are ready, we add the chicken to the pot. We simmer for a few minutes to heat through. We serve each bowl topped with the cilantro leaves, crushed tortilla chips, and shredded cheese.
