Instructions

Bring chicken broth, chicken breasts, red onion, garlic, oregano, salt, black pepper, and thyme to a boil in a large pot. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until chicken no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into centers should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a cutting board; shred into bite-sized strips and return to simmering soup.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add green onions and chile pepper; cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes; continue cooking until soft, about 5 minutes more. Add to soup; season with the salt. Return soup to a simmer. Add lime juice and 1/2 a lime; cook 10 minutes more. Remove the pot from heat; remove and discard 1/2 lime. Stir in cilantro and top with tortilla chips to serve.
