Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 large leek, sliced (white and light green parts only)
  • 3 large carrots, sliced
  • 3 celery stalks, sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (13.5-ounce) can coconut milk
  • 1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs
  • 10 ounces frozen peas (optional)
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add onion, leek, carrots, celery, and a pinch of salt. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until vegetables are softened.
  3. Stir in garlic, turmeric, and poultry seasoning. Cook for 1 minute until aromatic.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and add chicken. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20–25 minutes until chicken is cooked.
  5. Remove chicken, shred with two forks, and return to the pot.
  6. Stir in coconut milk and peas (if using). Simmer for 5 more minutes.
  7. Add fresh parsley, season with salt and pepper, and stir well.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with extra parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Use fresh turmeric (1 tbsp grated) for a more vibrant flavor.
  • Substitute chickpeas and vegetable broth for a vegetarian version.
  • Add cooked rice, quinoa, or noodles for a heartier meal.
  • Stir in spinach or kale for extra greens.
  • Can be made in a slow cooker—add all but peas and parsley, cook on low for 6–7 hours, then finish with peas and parsley.
