Ingredients
  

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 medium carrots, sliced

2 celery stalks, diced

4 cups chicken broth

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breast), cut into bite-sized pieces

4 medium potatoes, diced (Yukon Gold preferred)

1 teaspoon dried thyme

½ teaspoon dried rosemary

Salt and pepper to taste

2 cups fresh spinach or kale, roughly chopped

Juice from 1 lemon

Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.

    Stir in the minced garlic, sliced carrots, and diced celery. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften and the flavors to meld.

      Add the chicken broth to the pot and bring it to a gentle simmer.

        Once simmering, add the chicken pieces and diced potatoes to the pot.

          Sprinkle in the dried thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine, then cover and let simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.

            Remove the lid and add the chopped spinach or kale. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the greens are wilted and tender.

              Stir in the lemon juice for a bright finish, adjusting seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.

                Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
