​DIRECTIONS
​Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over low heat in a 4-quart pot. Add the diced onion, chopped bell pepper, jalapeño pepper (optional) and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds longer. Remove from the pot. Raise heat to medium, add another tablespoon of oil to the pot, add herbs and chicken chunks, and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring.
 
Add the rest of the ingredients to the pot, along with the onion, peppers and garlic. Cover and cook over medium heat for 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Serve with toppings in each bowl.
