Ingredients
- Olive oil spray
- 1 cup sliced celery
- 4 carrots, sliced
- 1/2 a courgette, chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 tbsp tomato puree
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 1-2 tsp chilli flakes, more or less to taste
- 3 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 3 whole uncooked skinless chicken breasts
- 3 cups (750ml) chicken broth
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- Juice of half a lemon
Instructions
- Set the Instant Pot to the Saute setting and spray the bottom with oil. Once hot, add the celery, carrot, onion, and garlic. Cook for about 2 minutes then add the courgette, chilli flakes, thyme, oregano, salt and black pepper. Cook for about 2 more minutes.
- Add the tomato puree, chicken and chicken broth, stir and change the setting to Pressure Cook/Manual (depending which model you have) on high pressure. Seal the lid and set the timer for 12 minutes. Once the time is up, let the pot sit for 10 minutes before manually releasing the pressure.
- Remove the lid, transfer the chicken breasts onto a plate and shred with two forks.
- Add them back to the soup along with the parsley and lemon juice. Give it a stir before serving hot and enjoy!
