Notes
Tips & Tricks
- Do not substitute or leave out the chipotle chili powder. This is the key ingredient for creating the subtle smokiness in the broth.
- Be careful not to boil the chicken breasts or they won’t come out as tender. Cook at a simmer instead.
- In a pinch rotisserie chicken can be used. It will only need to simmer for about 5 minutes or until heated through.
