Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables

    Add diced carrots and celery to the pot and cook for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Add the chicken breasts to the pot, followed by the chicken broth, dried thyme, salt, black pepper, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

  5. 5

    Add Rice

    Remove the chicken, shred it, and return it to the pot. Stir in the brown rice and continue to simmer for another 30 minutes until the rice is tender.

  6. 6

    Remove the bay leaf. Stir in fresh parsley before serving. Adjust seasoning as needed.
