Serves8

Easy

Ingredients

  • 4 skinless boneless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 cup thin julienne-cut bell peppers - red, green, yellow, or a combination
  • 1 cup diced zucchini
  • 1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 can cannellini beans, well drained
  • 2 cups frozen peas

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken into a two-quart saucepan and add the water and salt. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to a simmer for 20 minutes. Remove chicken to chopping board and cut into half-inch pieces.

  2. Pour the resulting broth into a measuring cup and place into the freezer for 10 minutes or until any fat rises to the top. Skim the fat and add water as necessary to make a total of 2 cups.

  3. While the chicken is cooking, in a five-quart Dutch oven or soup pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and carrot and cook for 2 minutes. Mash the garlic with the salt and mince finely, then add to the pot with the cayenne. Cover the pot, lower the heat, and cook for 4 minutes.

  4. Uncover, and then add the de-fatted broth, chicken, zucchini, bell peppers, tomatoes, and beans. Cover and cook 8 minutes until all vegetables are tender. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add the peas, bring to a simmer, and cook 1-2 more minutes, then serve in deep bowls.
