Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

1 cup jasmine rice

1 medium onion, diced

2 carrots, diced

2 celery stalks, diced

4 garlic cloves, minced

8 cups chicken broth

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

Juice of 1 lemon

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery, cooking until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.

    Stir in the minced garlic, dried thyme, and dried rosemary, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.

      Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle boil.

        Add the jasmine rice and shredded chicken to the pot. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and let cook for about 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender.

          Once cooked, stir in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.

            Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley for an added flavor and a pop of color.
