Ingredients

  • 12 chicken tenders or 3 chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

  • 1 cup onion, diced

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 3 tablespoons butter

  • 4 chicken bouillon cubes

  • 2 medium tomatoes, chopped

  • 1/4 bunch cilantro, chopped

Directions

  • Melt butter in large saucepan or dutch oven.

  • While chicken is cooking make the broth by combining water and chicken bouillon cubes in a small saucepan. Bring to boil.
  • When chicken is nearly done, add garlic and cook until chicken is no longer pink.
