Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 3 medium carrots, peeled and diced
• 2 stalks celery stalks, diced
• 6 cups chicken broth
• 1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes, canned
• 1 piece bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup small pasta (such as ditalini or orzo)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts lightly with salt and pepper and add them to the pot. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften.

Step 4

Pour in the chicken broth and add the can of diced tomatoes (including the liquid), bay leaf, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir well.

Step 5

Return the chicken breasts to the pot and bring the soup to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let it cook for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.

Step 6

Remove the chicken breasts from the pot and shred them with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the soup.

Step 7

Add the pasta to the pot and cook according to the package instructions, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Once the pasta is cooked, remove the bay leaf and stir in the chopped fresh parsley and lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 9

Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot. Enjoy your Chicken Wow Soup!
