Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
8 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
2 carrots, sliced
2 stalks celery, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut into pieces
1 cup diced potatoes
Fresh herbs (thyme, rosemary), salt, and pepper

Instructions

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts for about 5-6 minutes on each side until browned. Remove and set aside.
In the same pot, sauté onion, carrots, and celery for 5-7 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Pour in chicken broth and add thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
Return seared chicken to the pot; simmer covered for about 20 minutes until cooked through.
Remove chicken again, shred it using forks, then return to the soup along with green beans and potatoes. Simmer for another 10-15 minutes until potatoes are tender.
Adjust seasoning if needed; serve hot garnished with fresh parsley.
