Ingredients

• Chicken breast - 250 grams
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Onion - 1 small, diced
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Bell pepper - 1 medium, diced
• Zucchini - 1 small, diced
• Diced tomatoes - 200 grams (canned)
• Chicken broth - 500 ml
• Chili powder - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Oregano - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Avocado - 1 small, sliced (for topping)
• Shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend) - 50 grams (for topping)
• Fresh cilantro - for garnish

Steps

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
2. Add the minced garlic, diced bell pepper, and diced zucchini to the pot. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.
3. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper, cooking for 1 minute to release the spices' aromas.
4. Add the diced chicken breast to the pot, stirring to coat with the spices and vegetables. Cook for about 5 minutes until the chicken is no longer pink.
5. Pour in the diced tomatoes and chicken broth, bringing the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer for 10-15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the flavors meld together.
6. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, topped with sliced avocado, shredded cheese, and fresh cilantro.
