Ingredients

• 1.25 pounds skinless , boneless chicken breast halves
• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix , divided
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 0.5 cups chopped onions
• 0.5 cups chopped celery
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 3 , 14 ounce
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. 2 Lay chicken breasts evenly onto a baking sheet. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon taco seasoning mix.
3. 3 Bake chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 30 to 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Allow to cool enough to handle, then shred or cut into strips.
4. 4 While chicken is cooking, warm oil in a stockpot over medium-high heat. Cook and stir onions and celery in hot oil until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in chicken broth and water; bring to a boil. Add remaining 1 tablespoon taco seasoning mix, cumin, and black pepper. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until flavors blend, about 30 minutes.
5. 5 Add chicken, tomatoes, and cilantro; simmer for 5 minutes. Serve soup hot topped with cheese, tortilla chips, and avocado.
