Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
- 2 stalks celery stalks, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.333 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat a large pot over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts. Sear the chicken on both sides until browned, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, reduce the heat to medium and add 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter.
Add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and sliced celery. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to combine. Cook for about 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and milk, ensuring there are no lumps.
Add the browned chicken breasts back into the pot.
Add the dried thyme, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the soup to a simmer, reduce the heat to low, and cover. Cook for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the pot, shred it using two forks, and discard any bones or skin if necessary.
Return the shredded chicken to the pot along with the frozen peas and heavy cream.
Simmer for another 5 minutes to heat through and blend the flavors.
Discard the bay leaf.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
