Servings 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp coconut oil (avocado oil or olive oil work too)
- 1 yellow onion , diced
- 5 cloves garlic , minced
- 2 cups shredded chicken (use leftover roast chicken or cooked chicken breasts)
- 1 28 oz can diced tomatoes
- 3 cups bone broth
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 cups water
- 2 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp coriander
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp chipotle powder
- 4 oz dry linguine or spaghetti noodles
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- cilantro, avocado slices, green onion, jalapenose for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and saute for 3 minutes or until golden. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
- Add chicken, tomatoes, bone broth, water and spices to pot, stirring. Turn up heat to high and bring to a boil. Once the water is boiling add in noodles - it may not seem like many noodles, but don't add more as they expand and will soak up some of the broth!
- Bring to boil again, then reduce the heat to medium, simmering for 10 minutes or until pasta is al dente. Stir in lime juice and remove from heat.
- Serve while hot in bowls, garnishing with sliced green onions, cilantro, avocado slices and/or sliced jalapeno. Enjoy.
