Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Begin by cleaning the whole chicken under cold water. Remove any giblets from the cavity and pat the chicken dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Brown the Chicken

    Place the cleaned chicken in the pot, browning it on all sides for about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Add Vegetables and Broth

    Add the carrots, potatoes, and green beans to the pot. Pour in the chicken broth, and add the bay leaves. Bring to a boil.

  5. 5

    Simmer

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let it simmer for about 1 hour or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

  6. 6

    Finish and Serve

    Remove the chicken from the pot and let it rest for a few minutes. Remove the bay leaves. Shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces and return it to the pot. Stir in fresh parsley, adjust seasoning if necessary, and serve hot.
