Description
A comforting chicken fajita soup that combines juicy chicken, colorful peppers, and spices for a warm, inviting meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken breast, diced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 tbsp fajita seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lime wedges for serving
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pot over medium heat, add a splash of oil. Sauté the diced onions and minced garlic until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Toss in the sliced bell pepper and stir for another 2-3 minutes until it softens and begins to caramelize.
- Add the diced chicken breast to the pot, cooking until it turns golden brown and is no longer pink in the center.
- Sprinkle in the fajita seasoning, stirring to coat the chicken and vegetables thoroughly.
- Pour in the chicken broth, diced tomatoes, and black beans, mixing everything together until evenly combined.
- Bring the mixture to a hearty boil before reducing the heat. Allow it to simmer for about 20 minutes, letting all the flavors meld beautifully.
- Taste and adjust with salt and pepper to your liking, adding just enough to elevate the flavors without overpowering them.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh lime wedges and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
