Metric - US Customary

Instructions

  • Gently heat the olive oil in a large saucepan.
  • Sauté the onion and garlic for about 3 minutes until soft, stirring to avoid burning or sticking to the saucepan.
  • Add the chicken breasts, celery, carrot, potato, and chicken stock. Bring to the boil, then turn down to simmer for about 20 minutes until the chicken has cooked through.
  • Remove the chicken breasts using a slotted spoon and set aside on a chopping board.
  • Stir the milk and cream cheese into the pot with the vegetables. Use a hand whisk if necessary, until there are no lumps. Then using the wooden spoon press the potatoes to side of pan to break them down.
  • Shred the chicken breasts on the chopping board using two forks.
  • Stir the shredded chicken and parsley into the pot. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve.
