Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Add the chicken pieces to the pot and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
Add the cubed potatoes, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper, stirring to combine.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through.
