A comforting Chicken and Rice Soup packed with hearty ingredients, perfect for any night of the week.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice or brown rice
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Sauté the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery, and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
  2. Add the diced chicken and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic, thyme, oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté for 1 more minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, add the rice.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender.
  6. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Notes

For best results, avoid overcooking the rice and consider cooking it separately if planning to freeze leftovers.
