Ingredients:

• 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
• 1 large white onion, chopped and divided
• 3 limes, juiced
• 1 cup of chopped cilantro, divided
• 2 jalapeño peppers, halved and thinly sliced
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 4 cups of water
• 2 tablespoons of reduced-sodium chicken bouillon powder
• 3 large firm-ripe avocados, cut into chunks
• ¼ cup of crumbled queso fresco, or to taste

Directions:

1. Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add chicken and boil until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 165°F (74°C), about seven minutes. Drain.
2. Run cool water over the chicken to speed up the cooling process. Shred or slice the chicken finely.
3. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1/2 onion, lime juice, 1/2 cup of cilantro, jalapeño peppers, and garlic until the onion is slightly greenish in color, about five minutes.
4. Combine four cups of water and bouillon powder in a small bowl. Pour into the pot. Let cook until just heated through, about five minutes. Stir chicken into the pot.
5. Ladle soup into four bowls. Top with remaining 1/2 onion, 1/2 cup cilantro, avocado, and queso fresco.
