Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat.
Season the chicken breasts with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper.
Add the chicken breasts to the pot and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until lightly browned. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets and diced tomatoes to the pot. Stir to combine.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Return the chicken breasts to the pot, cover, and let simmer for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Remove the chicken from the pot. Shred it using two forks and return the shredded chicken to the soup.
Stir in the thyme, remaining salt and pepper, and red pepper flakes, if using.
Cook for an additional 5 minutes, then taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy!
