2 jalapeños
2 cloves garlic
4 cans low-sodium chicken broth
2 Roma tomatoes

1/3 cup chopped cilantro

In a large pot heat 1 Tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add green onions and jalapenos and saute until tender, about 2 minutes, adding garlic during last 30 seconds of sauteing. Add chicken broth, tomatoes, cumin, season with salt and pepper to taste and add chicken breasts. Bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Then reduce heat to medium, cover with lid and allow to cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken has cooked through 10 - 15 minutes . Reduce burner to warm heat, remove chicken from pan and let rest on a cutting board 5 minutes, then shred chicken and return to soup. Stir in cilantro and lime juice. Add avocados to soup just before serving . Serve with tortilla chips, cheese and sour cream if desired. *For thicker chicken breasts, cut breasts in half through the length of the breasts, they will cook faster and more evenly.
