Description
Savor the comforting warmth of Sicilian Chicken Soup, a delightful blend of tender chicken, vibrant vegetables, and aromatic herbs simmered to perfection. This dish is more than just a meal; it’s a nostalgic experience that brings family and friends together.
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 4 pieces)
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 1 can (14.5 oz) chopped tomatoes
- 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Dice chicken into bite-sized pieces and chop the garlic, carrots, celery, and tomatoes.
2. In a large pot over medium heat, drizzle olive oil and sauté garlic, carrots, and celery until softened (about 5 minutes).
3. Add chicken and cook until golden brown.
4. Pour in broth and tomatoes; stir in Italian seasoning. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
5. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving hot.
Notes
Use bone-in chicken for deeper flavor, but remove bones before serving.
Add small pasta like ditalini or rice to make it more filling.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
Great with crusty bread or a sprinkle of Parmesan on top.
