12 -
½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
13 -
1 tsp dried thyme
14 -
1 tsp dried oregano
# Steps:
01 -
Warm up the olive oil in a big pot on medium heat. Toss in the carrots and onion, and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring now and then, until the onion turns soft and slightly see-through.
02 -
Drop in the minced garlic and let it cook for just a minute. Sprinkle in the oregano, thyme, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes, stirring to combine everything.
03 -
Put the chicken breasts and broth into the pot. Let it come to a low boil, then lower the heat, cover, and simmer gently for about 20 minutes until the chicken is cooked all the way through.
04 -
Take the chicken out of the pot and shred it up with two forks. Once shredded, toss it back into the pot.
05 -
Throw in the spinach and white beans, cooking for another 5 minutes, just until the spinach wilts and everything warms up nicely.
06 -
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve it hot with a sprinkle of parsley on top and some crusty bread on the side.
