Sauté the Veggies

      Cook until soft and aromatic.

        Add Garlic & Herbs

              Add Chicken & Broth

                Place chicken on top of the veggies, pour in broth, add a bay leaf, and let it simmer gently.

                  Shred the Chicken

                    Remove the chicken after about 20–25 minutes, shred it, then return it to the pot.
