Ingredients

• 8 ounces gluten-free pasta
• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 carrots, sliced
• 2 celery stalks, sliced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 6 cups chicken broth
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup frozen peas

Directions

Step 1

Cook the gluten-free pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

Step 3

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Remove from the pot and let cool slightly before shredding the chicken with two forks.

Step 4

In the same pot, add the chopped onion, sliced carrots, and sliced celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth and stir in the bay leaf, dried thyme, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil.

Step 7

Once boiling, add the shredded chicken to the pot. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Add the cooked gluten-free pasta and frozen peas to the soup. Cook for another 5 minutes until the peas are heated through.

Step 9

Remove the bay leaf before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
