• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Season the chicken breasts with a pinch of salt and pepper. Place them in the pot and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Pour in the chicken broth and add the thyme, parsley, and bay leaves. Stir to combine.

Return the chicken breasts to the pot and bring the soup to a simmer. Cover with a lid and let it cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

Step 7

Remove the chicken breasts from the pot and shred them using two forks. Discard the bay leaves.
