Ingredients

  • 3 (12 oz.) boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
  • 1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp. chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp. cumin
  • 3 cans (14 oz. each) reduced sodium chicken broth
  • 3 cups (6 oz.) broken baked corn tortilla chips
  • 2 cups (8 oz.) Sargento® Fancy Shredded Colby-Jack Cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup salsa
