Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs Substitute with tofu for a vegan option
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 medium carrots, diced
  • 2 ribs celery, diced
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup almond milk or any milk of your choice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional) For brightness
  • to taste Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once it shimmers, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
  2. Stir in the garlic, carrots, and celery. Allow the veggies to soften for another 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add the flour and cook for about a minute to eliminate the raw taste.
  4. Gradually pour in the chicken broth, scraping any bits from the bottom of the pot.
  5. Add the chicken pieces, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring everything to a simmer and let bubble for about 15-20 minutes.
  6. Once the chicken is cooked, carefully transfer it to a plate and shred it with two forks.
  7. Return the shredded chicken to the pot along with the frozen peas and almond milk. Stir and let simmer for another 5 minutes.
  8. For a refreshing twist, add a splash of lemon juice before serving.
