Ingredients

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup wild rice
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 jalapeno, seeded and diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 can diced tomatoes
4 cups chicken broth
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp oregano

Instructions

In a large pot, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, jalapeno, and red bell pepper. Cook until softened.
Push the vegetables to the side and add the chicken breasts to the pot. Cook until browned on both sides.
Add the wild rice, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, and cayenne pepper to the pot. Season with salt and pepper.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender.
Remove the chicken breasts from the pot and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
Adjust seasoning to taste. If the soup is too thick, you can add more chicken broth or water.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.
