- 1-1/2 cups chicken breast, cooked

Preparation
- Preheat oven to 400º.

- Cut tortillas into thin strips. Arrange the tortilla strips on a baking sheet and spray with cooking spray. Bake for 3 minutes or until lightly toasted. Remove from oven and place onto a plate to cool.
- Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, garlic and chili peppers. Cook until the onions are translucent.

Helpful hints
- Twelve unsalted tortilla chips can be substituted for the tortillas. Skip step #2 in preparations.
- Homemade chicken stock contains 30 to 60 mg sodium per cup, if no salt or bouillon is added. No-salt added broth or low-sodium broth contains less than 140 mg sodium per cup. Reduced sodium broth contains 450 to 600 mg sodium per cup.
- If reduced sodium broth is used in this recipe, decrease broth portion to 2 cups, omit the 1/4- teaspoon salt and add 2 cups of water to keep sodium low.
