Ingredients

Canola oil

1 tsp

Uncooked boneless skinless chicken breast(s)

½ pound(s), cut into thin strips

Uncooked onion(s)

1 medium, chopped

Garlic clove(s)

3 medium clove(s), minced

Ground cumin

2 tsp

Reduced-sodium chicken broth

4 cup(s)

Canned diced tomatoes

14½ oz

¼ cup(s), fresh, chopped

Weight Watchers Reduced-fat Mexican style shredded cheese

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a large nonstick saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned, about 6 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate; set aside.
  2. Add the onion and garlic to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 8 minutes. Stir in the cumin and cook 1 minute. Add the broth, tomatoes, corn, and salsa; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the flavors are blended, about 10 minutes. Return the chicken to the pan; heat through. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cilantro. Serve the soup with the cheese and tortilla chips. Yields 2 1/2 cups per serving.
