Ingredients:

Serving

9 cups chicken broth
5 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves skinless , boneless chicken breast halves
1 large red onion, quartered
5 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1 tbsp vegetable oil
4 green onions, chopped
1 large green chile pepper, seeded and chopped
2 large tomatoes, peeled and chopped
6 limes, juiced
1/2 lime
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
tortilla chips, for topping

Directions:

Bring the chicken broth, chicken breasts, red onion, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and thyme to a boil in a large pot; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove the cooked chicken to a cutting board and shred into bite-sized strips; return to the simmering pot.
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook the green onions and green chile pepper in the hot oil until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir the tomatoes into the mixture and continue cooking until soft, about 5 minute more; pour the mixture into the pot with the chicken soup. Season with the salt; return the soup to a simmer. Add the lime juice and 1/2 a lime; cook another 10 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and remove the lime half; stir in the cilantro to serve.
