Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 3 medium carrots sliced into ¼" rounds
- 2 stalks celery chopped
- 1 large potato peeled and cubed
- 1 cup fresh green beans trimmed and halved
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1" pieces
- 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 cup flat-leaf parsley chopped (for garnish)
- Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until soft.
- Stir in garlic, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Cook until fragrant.
- Add carrots, celery, potato, and green beans. Toss to coat in oil and spices.
- Pour in chicken broth and add chicken pieces. Bring to a boil, then simmer until veggies are tender and chicken is cooked through.

- Stir in parsley, ladle into bowls, and garnish with more herbs. Serve hot.
Notes
Cut veggies to a similar size for even cooking. Brighten flavors with a splash of lemon juice if needed. Adjust herbs to taste.
