Number of Servings: 8

Ingredients

    2 boxes chicken broth (32oz each)
    1 lb chicken breasts
    1 carrot, peeled and sliced
    1 stalk celery, sliced
    1/2 onion, diced
    1 cup shredded cabbage
    1 tsp thyme
    1 tsp rosemary
    2 bay leaves
    1/3 cup rice
    1 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)

Directions

Pour the broth into the pot and boil over high heat. Add thyme, rosemary and bay leaf and once boiling, add chicken (bone-in is best for flavor). Add diced vegetables; this can easily be done as the chicken begins to cook.

Reduce heat, simmering for 1-2 hours. Take chicken out of the pot with tongs. Shred the chicken, taking care to discard the bones, and return shredded chicken to pot. Add rice and simmer for an additional 20 minutes. Top with cayenne pepper to taste if desired.

Serving Size: Makes roughly 8 small servings.
