6 servings
- 2 tbsp garlic-infused oil
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into ¼-inch rounds
- 3 stalks celery, sliced into ¼-inch pieces
- 6 scallions, green tops only, thinly sliced (white parts discarded)
- 1 ½ lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 8 cups chicken broth
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 6 oz gluten free pasta (small shapes such as elbows or rotini)

Instructions
- 1
Heat the garlic-infused oil in a large (6-quart) pot over medium heat until shimmering. Add the carrots and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the scallion greens and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more.

Pour in the chicken broth and add the whole chicken pieces, dried thyme, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer. Cook uncovered until the chicken registers 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer at the thickest part, about 20 minutes.
