Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pieces chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 cup celery, chopped
- 1 piece carrot, small, chopped
- 1 cup zucchini, diced
- 1 cup bell pepper, chopped
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the pot. Cook until browned on both sides, about 6-8 minutes total. Remove from pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add celery, carrot, zucchini, bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté for 5 minutes, until vegetables are just tender.
Add the chicken broth to the pot, bringing it to a simmer.
Return the chicken breasts to the pot and allow them to simmer in the broth for about 15 minutes, or until cooked through.
Remove the chicken breasts, shred them using two forks, and return the shredded chicken to the soup.
Stir in the baby spinach, thyme, and parsley, letting the soup simmer for another 3-5 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed before serving.
