Ingredients
Scale
1 lb of boneless and skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons of olive oil
2 medium of carrots, diced
2 stalks of celery, diced
4 cloves of garlic, minced
6 cups of low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup of lemon juice
2 teaspoons of fresh thyme, chopped
1/4 cup of fresh parsley, chopped
2 cups of spinach
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Begin by gathering all your ingredients and chopping the vegetables as indicated in the ingredients list.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced carrots and celery, sautéing for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.
Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes.
Place the chicken breasts into the pot and pour in the chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes.
After simmering, remove the chicken breasts from the pot. Shred them using two forks, then return the shredded chicken back to the soup.
