4 (6-inch) corn tortillas, cut into 1/2-inch strips
1 pound skinned, boned chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups canned no-salt-added chicken broth, undiluted
2 cups peeled, cubed acorn squash
1 cup sliced carrot
1 cup sliced onion
1/2 cup sliced celery
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Directions:
1. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Place tortilla strips on baking sheet; coat strips with cooking spray. Bake at 400° for 9 minutes or until crisp. Set aside.
2. Combine chicken and flour in a heavy-duty, zip-top plastic bag. Seal bag, and shake until chicken is well coated.

4. Combine broth and next 8 ingredients in Dutch oven. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes. Add chicken, and simmer 10 additional minutes or until vegetables are tender and chicken is done. Stir in cilantro, and top with tortilla strips just before serving.
