Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 1 jalapeno pepper seeds removed and minced, medium
- 2 poblano pepper chopped, medium
- 1 onion chopped, large

Instructions
- Add the oil to a large 6-quart Dutch oven and heat it over medium-high heat. Add the peppers, onions, and garlic and sauté until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Season the vegetables with salt, and pepper, to taste. Add the cumin, coriander, and chili powder and continue to sauté for 1 more minute to toast the spices. Stir in the chicken broth, lime juice, zucchini, and shredded chicken. Simmer for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes of simmering, taste for seasoning, and adjust if necessary.
- Serve the chili in individual bowls topped with avocado slices and chopped cilantro.

Notes
- If you can’t find poblano peppers, you can use green peppers but the chili will not be as “smoky” in flavor.
- For lower heat, you can use ½ of the jalapeño pepper and freeze extra. For added heat, keep seeds and sauté them with vegetables.
