Directions

Step 1

Dice the chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces and set aside.

In a large pot, pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

Step 3

Peel and thinly slice the carrot. Chop the celery stalks and onion into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

Add the carrot, celery, onion, and garlic to the simmering broth and cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
