1 red bell pepper, diced
1 ½ tsp ground cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp dried oregano
Ingredient note
Herbs and spices can carry nickel, so a low nickel diet limits them, but the small amount of oregano used to season this recipe is likely fine. If you prefer to always avoid oregano, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
¼ tsp chipotle chili powder
1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, with juices
5 cups chicken broth
1 ½ lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup frozen corn kernels
1 tsp salt, plus more to taste
¼ tsp black pepper

For the tortilla strips

6 small corn tortillas, cut into ¼-inch strips
1 tbsp olive oil
¼ tsp salt

For serving

1 medium avocado, sliced (optional)

Instructions

1
Heat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Toss the tortilla strips with 1 tbsp olive oil and 1/4 tsp salt on a baking sheet, spreading them in a single layer. Bake for 12–15 minutes, turning once halfway through, until golden and crisp. Set aside.
2
While the tortilla strips bake, heat the garlic-infused oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering. Add the diced red bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
