Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 piece onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by trimming any excess fat from the chicken breasts. Season them with salt and pepper.
  2. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and cook until they’re translucent (about 3-4 minutes). Then stir in the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the chicken breasts to the pot and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side until they are golden brown.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and add the diced tomatoes along with the Italian seasoning. Bring to a boil.
  5. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked.
  6. Remove the chicken and use two forks to shred it into bite-sized pieces.
  7. Return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir in the heavy cream. Allow it to heat through for an additional 5 minutes.
  8. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Enjoy your Marry Me Chicken Soup!
