  • 2 ½  tbsp Olive Oil
  • 14 ½ ounces Jalapeno Pepper with Diced Tomato

  • 5 Boneless Chicken Breasts
  • 2 tsp Cumin
  • 1 tsp Coriander

Instructions
 

  • With a knife, finely chop the onions and garlic on a cutting board. Mince the chopped garlic with the back of the knife.
  • After that, dice the celery in about ½ inch pieces. Set them all aside in a bowl.
  • Season your chicken breast with salt, pepper, and cumin. Make sure to season both sides properly. After that, heat the saucepan and pour olive oil on it.
  • Toss the chicken breast in the pan and grill it for 5 minutes on each side. Keep the heat at medium flame and wait for each of the sides to turn golden brown.
  • After grilling the chicken, let it rest and prepare the spices meanwhile. Heat your Dutch oven on a slow cooker on a high flame. Pour 1 tbsp olive oil and add onions, celery, and garlic when the oil gets a bit hot. Keep stirring until the onions change in color.
  • In the spice mix, add the chicken stock, tomatoes, corn, black beans, and rice mix. Let it cook for some time and bring it to a boil. When the smells come out, toss the cumin, coriander, and cilantro.
  • After that, simmer the soup until the beans and rice are tender and cooked. It would take about 25 minutes to be done.
  • While the soup is being simmered, prepare the chicken breast for the topping. Dice the grilled chicken into about 1 inch pieces and add to the soup.
  • Give it 10-15 more minutes for the chicken flavor to incorporate into the soup mix.
  • After the cooking, you will get a nice savory fragrance of the Santa Fe chicken soup with the chicken flavor. Then you will know the recipe is done. Serve it hot with additional toppings of your choice.
