Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp avocado oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 2 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and cook for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and skin is crispy.
  2. Step 2: Remove chicken and set aside. Add 1 large diced onion, 2 diced carrots, and 2 diced celery stalks to the pot. Sauté for 5 minutes until vegetables soften and onion turns translucent.
  3. Step 3: Add 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
  4. Step 4: Pour in 4 cups chicken stock, add 1 tsp dried thyme and 1 bay leaf. Return chicken to pot, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook uncovered for 30 minutes.
  5. Step 5: Remove chicken, discard skin and bones, and shred meat. Return to pot. Stir in 1/2 cup fresh parsley and 1/2 cup fresh dill. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer 5 more minutes until flavors meld.
