Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium (diced) yellow onion
- 3 cloves (minced) garlic
- 2 medium (sliced) carrots
- 2 medium (sliced) celery stalks
- 2 medium (peeled and cubed) potatoes
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 1 piece bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) salt
- 0.5 teaspoon (freshly ground) black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, fresh) parsley

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Season the chicken breasts with a pinch of salt and pepper, then add them to the pot. Sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion and saute for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the carrots, celery, and potatoes. Saute for 5 minutes to begin softening the vegetables.
Pour in the chicken stock, and stir in the bay leaf, dried thyme, and remaining salt and pepper.
Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Return the chicken breasts to the pot, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
Remove the chicken breasts and shred them with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir to combine.
Add the chopped parsley and lemon juice. Adjust seasonings to taste.
Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, then remove the bay leaf and serve the soup hot. Enjoy!
