Instructions
Place the chicken with water in a large stock pot. Bring to a boil over medium high heat until foam starts to form. Skim foam from the surface and discard it.
Reduce heat and add the onion, garlic, carrots, celery and bouillon cube. Simmer for 30 minutes.
Check the chicken for doneness, remove and set aside to cool (to shred or dice into bite sized pieces, typically the legs are left on the bone).
Add the zucchini, jalapeno and cilantro while the chicken cools enough to handle.
Shred the cooled chicken, or dice into bite size pieces and return to the broth. Remove any additional foam or fat that rises to the surface.
Simmer for an additional 10 minutes, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Remove from heat and serve over rice that is portioned into your bowls. Garnish with sliced avocado and lime wedges.
