1. For the sauce: Melt the coconut oil in a 4 quart pot over medium high heat; add the chili powder, garlic powder, oregano, cumin and sea salt.

2. Add the arrowroot powder, then slowly pour in the broth and apple cider vinegar whisking constantly until the sauce thickens.

3. Remove from heat. Add a little water to thin if the sauce becomes too thick after sitting.

5. Peel and mince onion. Deseed and finely dice the peppers. Finely dice the zucchini. Mince cilantro and shred the cooked chicken.
