Ingredients:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
3 celery stalks, diced
2 carrots, diced
2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2, 15oz cans low sodium white beans, drained and rinsed
2, 4oz cans diced green chiles
2 tomatoes, diced
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Directions:
- Place chicken breasts in a large pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Boil for 15-20 minutes until chicken is cooked through. Set aside and allow to cool before cutting into large chunks.
- Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onions, celery, and carrots and cook until tender, about 4-5 minutes.
- Add flour to vegetables and stir to coat vegetables. Cook 3 minutes more to cook out raw flour flavor. Whisk in chicken broth.
- Add beans, chiles, tomatoes, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne, and black pepper to pot. Simmer 15-20 minutes until mixture is thickened.
- Stir in cooked chicken and heat 5 more minutes until chicken is warmed through. Top with sliced avocados, lime wedges, and cilantro for serving. Enjoy!
