Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 piece small onion, finely chopped
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 pieces celery stalks, sliced
- 1 piece large carrot, diced
- 1 cup frozen corn kernels
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the chicken breast and cut it into small, bite-sized pieces.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot, sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the sliced celery and diced carrot to the pot, and continue to sauté for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the vegetables start to soften.
Stir in the chicken pieces and cook for 5 minutes, or until the chicken is lightly browned on all sides.
Add the frozen corn, low-sodium chicken broth, and water to the pot. Stir to mix.
Add the dried thyme and parsley, then season with salt and black pepper. Stir everything together.
Bring the soup to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the flavors have melded.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Remove from heat and serve hot. Enjoy your healthy and delicious low fat chicken corn soup!
