Ingredients

Scale
  • 10–12 bone-in skinless chicken thighs
  • 3 quarts cold water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 yellow onions, diced
  • 8 large carrots, chopped
  • 6 ribs celery, chopped
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • Juice from one lemon
  • 2 bay leaves
  • Fresh chopped parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large stockpot, add chicken thighs and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, cover and reduce heat to low; let simmer for 30-45 minutes.
  2. While the broth simmers, heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onions and cook until translucent (4-5 minutes). Stir in carrots and celery; cook for another 10-15 minutes before adding garlic, salt, pepper, and bay leaves.
  3. Strain the broth into the pot with cooked vegetables after removing the chicken. Shred chicken into bite-sized pieces once cool enough to handle.
  4. Add lemon juice back into the vegetable mixture; return to a boil then simmer for another 30 minutes with shredded chicken until vegetables are tender.
  5. Serve hot and garnish with fresh parsley.
