Ingredients

  • 4 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1 (28 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, drained
  • 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh garlic
  • 1 (32 fluid ounce) container chicken broth

  • chili powder to taste
  • Cheddar cheese, shredded
