Cooking Directions
- Remove the skin and bones from the chicken. Shred about half of the chicken meat using 2 forks or pull apart with your fingers to make about 2 cups.
- Heat the oil in a 4-quart saucepan over medium heat. Stir the onions, peppers, garlic, cumin and oregano in the saucepan and cook for 5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Stir the broth and tomatoes in the saucepan and heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 10 minutes. Add the chicken and cook for 10 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
- Stir in the lime juice. Spoon about 1/2 cup rice into each of 6 serving bowls. Evenly ladle the soup over the rice.
