Directions
Bring broth and chicken breast halves to boiling in a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 15 to 20 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked (165 degrees). Remove chicken and set aside on a cutting board until cool enough to handle. Discard liquid or reserve for another use.
- Cut chicken with the grain into thin slices. Using hands, shred chicken.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken and chile powder; cook, stirring constantly until chicken is heated through and thoroughly coated with seasoning. Stir in lime juice and cilantro.
- Divide rice and chicken mixture among four bowls. Top with desired toppings.
- Note: Chile peppers contain volatile oils that can burn your skin and eyes. When working with jalapenos, wear protective gloves.
