Zoney Chicken Soup

Makes: 3 blocks protein, 3 blocks carb, 3 blocks fat

Ingredients
500 mls chicken stock, homemade if you can
Fresh chilli, deseeded and thinly sliced
3oz / 85g chicken breast (3 protein)
1/2 cup / 45g spring onions, sliced (1 carb)
1/2 cup / 140g chickpeas (2 carb)
3 Tbsp avocado (3 fat)
Black pepper

1) Put chicken stock and chilli in a pan (add as much or as little chilli as you like) and bring to the boil. Add the whole chicken breast , lower the heat and simmer for about 10 mins, or until chicken is cooked through.
2) Remove chicken from pan and leave to cool for a min. Once cool enough to handle, shred the chicken. I find it easiest using two forks to pull the meat apart.
3) Meanwhile chuck the chickpeas, avocado and spring onions into the pan and simmer for 3-4 mins. Return the shredded chicken and warm through for a further min. Season generously with black pepper and serve.

TIP: This soup only has a handful of ingredients and so if you can use organic, free range chicken and home made stock, as this will give the best taste.
