Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • 1 tsp dried thyme

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients by chopping all vegetables into bite-sized pieces and seasoning them with salt and pepper.
  2. In a large pot over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Sauté the onions and garlic for about 3 minutes until translucent.
  3. Add in the carrots and celery; cook until slightly tender before adding the chicken breasts.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes until chicken is cooked through.

  6. Stir in shredded chicken along with thyme, parsley, and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm.
