Instructions
- 1
Heat the coconut oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering. Add the chicken thighs in a single layer and sear for 4–5 minutes per side, until golden brown on both sides. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside — it will finish cooking in the broth.
- 2
Add the onion, carrots, and celery to the same pot and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened and the onion is translucent, about 6–7 minutes.
