1/2 c dry white wine or water

Topping:
1 cup non fat tortilla chips (optional)
Light sour cream (optional)

1.  Saute onion, garlic, jalapeno and green pepper with olive oil in a large pot until soft.
2. Add all the rest of the ingredients to the large pot and bring to a boil.
3.  After about 15 minutes, remove chicken breast and shred.  (I just used shredded chicken that I already had.)

5.  Serve, topped with crushed tortilla strips and sour cream if desired.
