Let the veggies rest for about 3 to 5 minutes, then add the broth, rice, seasoned salt, or creole seasoning, and stir them all together until combined and incorporated.

Step 2
Once done cooking, quickly release the pot, then use tongs to remove the chicken, and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Shred the chicken using two forks or a hand mixer, then add the fajita seasoning as well as the cheese, and stir them until well combined. Put the shredded chicken back into the pot, then give them a good stir to incorporate the chicken into the soup, and serve them in bowls topped with cheese, guacamole, and/or tortilla strips.
