Combine the chicken breasts and chicken stock in a pot and bring to a simmer over moderate heat. Simmer covered for 20 minutes. Remove the chicken breasts and allow to cool enough to handle. Remove and discard the skin and bones, and shred the chicken meat. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a skillet over moderate heat. Saute the onion, peppers, and garlic until tender, about 10 minutes. Add the chicken meat, the onion mixture, and the remaining ingredients to the pot and simmer 20 to 30 minutes. Garnish with toasted tortilla strips, scallions, and cheese or sour cream if desired. Serves 4 to 6.
