Description

Quick and flavorful chicken taco soup made with tender chicken breast, taco seasoning, and a jar of Pace Picante. Ready in under 30 minutes and customizable with your favorite toppings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs Tyson chicken breast, boneless, skinless
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 3 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 24 oz Pace Picante, Medium (1 jar)
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can sweet corn, drained
  • 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Topping options: Cilantro, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, tortilla chips

Instructions

1. Cut chicken into bite-size pieces.

2. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium high heat. Once hot, add chicken and taco seasoning and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until seared on each side.

3. Add Pace Picante, broth, corn, and black beans. Bring to a simmer, cover, and let cook for 8 minutes.

4. Remove from the heat, squeeze fresh lime juice over the top, and stir the soup.

5. Serve warm with your choice of toppings.

Notes

Use rotisserie chicken to save time—simply skip the searing step and simmer to heat through.

Adjust seasoning to taste depending on the salt content of your broth and taco seasoning.

This soup is great for meal prep and freezes well.
