4 servings
- 1 ½ lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into ¼-inch rounds
- 3 stalks celery, sliced ¼-inch thick
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- ½ tsp dried thyme
- ½ tsp dried oregano
Ingredient noteOregano is fine during pregnancy in normal cooking amounts - this recipe uses about scant 1/4 tsp per serving. The caution is about concentrated oregano oil and large medicinal doses.
- 4 cups bone broth
- 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
- 1 tsp salt, plus more to taste
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
For serving
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Heat the coconut oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high 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 to a plate and set aside — the chicken will not be fully cooked through at this point.

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the onion, carrots, and celery to the same pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent and the carrots have begun to soften, about 6–7 minutes.
