Directions

Prep 10 minCook 50 min
  1. 1

    Warm a large 6–8 quart pot over medium heat. Add the olive oil, bell peppers, onion, and garlic; sauté, stirring occasionally, until softened and fragrant, 3–5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Stir in the chicken breasts, black beans, diced tomatoes, brown rice, chicken broth, water, taco seasoning, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer.

  3. 3

    Simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Using tongs, transfer the chicken to a plate. Continue simmering the soup, stirring occasionally, until the brown rice is fully tender, 20–30 minutes more (add a splash of water if needed). Shred the chicken with two forks.

  4. 4

    Return the shredded chicken to the pot and heat through. Season to taste with additional salt and black pepper.
