Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, add the chicken pieces and cover with water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 30 minutes, or until fully cooked.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    Remove the chicken and set aside to cool. In the same pot, add the diced carrots, celery, and chopped onion. Sauté over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

  3. 3

    Add Garlic and Seasonings

    Stir in the minced garlic, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Combine Chicken Broth

    Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer.

  5. 5

    Shred the Chicken

    While the broth is simmering, shred the cooled chicken into bite-sized pieces, discarding the skin and bones.

  6. 6

    Return Chicken to Pot

    Add the shredded chicken back into the pot and mix well. Let it simmer for another 10 minutes.
