Directions:
1. In a large pot, boil chicken breasts for 30 minutes. Cool, shred into small pieces, set aside. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet to 375 degrees. Fry tortilla strips a few at a time, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and lightly salt.
2. Add enough water to the chicken stock in the large pot to make at least 15 cups of water. Stir in the bouillon cubes and reduce heat to a simmer. Pour in the can of plain diced tomatoes, garlic and onion. Add black pepper and chili powder. Add carrots, celery, and diced tomatoes with green chilies. Cover and simmer for about 25 minutes, until vegetables are tender. Stir in shredded chicken and cook 5 minutes more.
3. Serve hot topped with fried tortilla strips and shredded cheese.
