- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tbsp olive oil divided
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 large yellow onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced

- 2 medium zucchini sliced into half-moons
- 1 14.5-oz can diced tomatoes undrained

Notes
Storage: Let the soup cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave. Make-Ahead: Prepare the soup base (steps 3-5) up to 2 days ahead. Cook the chicken in the air fryer fresh for best texture, or store cooked chicken separately and add when reheating. Variations: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat, or stir in a handful of spinach at the end for extra greens. Serve with crusty whole-grain bread for dipping.
