→ Herbs and Spices

12 - ½ tsp chili flakes
13 - 1 tsp thyme, dried
14 - 1 tsp oregano, dried

# Steps:

01 - In a big pot, warm up the olive oil on medium. Throw in the onions and carrots, cooking them for about 5-7 minutes until those onions look soft and clear.
02 - Toss in your garlic and let it cook for a minute. Mix in your oregano, thyme, chili flakes, salt, and pepper.
03 - Add your chicken breasts and pour in the broth. Let it come to a light boil, then lower the heat and cover. Let it cook for 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
04 - Pull the chicken out and shred it with a pair of forks. Drop the shredded chicken back into the pot.
05 - Dump in your white beans and spinach, cooking for another 5 minutes. Once the spinach wilts and everything’s warm, you’re good to go.
06 - Taste and tweak the seasoning if you need. Serve hot with chopped parsley on top and bread slices on the side if you like.
