Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 3 clove garlic minced
  • 2 medium carrot sliced
  • 2 rib celery sliced
  • 2 cup russet potato peeled and diced
  • 1 cup zucchini diced
  • 1 cup green beans chopped
  • 0.75 cup frozen corn
  • 0.75 cup frozen peas
  • 8 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 14.5 ounce canned diced tomatoes with juices
  • 2 leaf bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1.5 teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • 0.25 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice optional, to brighten

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Prep all vegetables and cut the chicken into bite-size pieces for even cooking.
  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, and celery; cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Add chicken, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook until the exterior is opaque, about 3 minutes.
  • Pour in chicken broth and diced tomatoes with juices. Add potatoes, green beans, bay leaves, and thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Stir in zucchini, corn, and peas; simmer until vegetables are just tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Remove bay leaves. Stir in parsley and lemon juice. Season with remaining salt and pepper to taste.
  • Ladle into bowls and serve warm.

Notes

For extra richness, add 0.5 cup of small pasta during the last 10 minutes of cooking (add 1 cup more broth). Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 4 days.
