Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 lb chicken breast cooked and shredded
  • 2 Tbs olive oil
  • 1 small white onion diced
  • 3 carrots peeled and diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 28 oz. can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 1 15 oz. can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cup spinach
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste

Method
 

Prep
  1. Dice onions. Peel and chop carrots. Mince garlic.
  2. Drain and rinse cannellini beans.
Make
  1. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of a large pot, then season them lightly with salt and pepper. Cover the chicken with 1 inch of water. Place the pot on the stove and bring water to a boil. Once the pot on the stove is boiling, reduce the heat and let simmer until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F on an instant-read thermometer or is no longer pink in the center, about 8 to 16 minutes. Remove the chicken from the water and let rest until cool enough to handle and shred.
  2. In a large pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Sauté onions, carrots, and garlic until tender.
  3. Add crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth, dried basil, oregano, and parsley. Let sauce come to a simmer and simmer for 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in cannellini beans, spinach, and shredded chicken. Cook until spinach has wilted and chicken has warmed through.
  5. Garnish with fresh basil and parmesan cheese (if using).
