Directions
Step 1
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the chopped onion, sliced carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Place the chicken breast into the pot, then pour in the chicken broth.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for approximately 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Step 7
Remove the chicken from the pot and place it on a plate. Shred the chicken using two forks.
Step 8
Return the shredded chicken to the pot. Discard the bay leaves.
