Hearty Chicken and Vegetable Stew

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.

Add the Vegetables:
Add the sliced carrots and cubed potatoes to the pot. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften slightly.

Add the Broth and Seasonings:
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Add the dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir to combine, then cover the pot and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Add the Chicken:
Stir in the shredded chicken and continue simmering for another 5 minutes until the chicken is heated through and the flavors have melded together.

Serve and Garnish:
Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve hot with a side of crusty bread.
