Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I grab my large pot and melt a bit of butter over medium heat. Once it’s hot, I toss in the diced onion, sliced carrots, and diced celery, allowing those veggies to sauté until they’re soft and fragrant—about 5 minutes. The aromas fill my kitchen, and I can’t help but feel a wave of comfort wash over me. After the veggies have softened, I add the chicken breasts, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Then, I pour in the chicken broth and bring everything to a gentle boil. This is when I can already taste the cozy flavors bubbling together. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
