Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the 1 diced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add the 1 lb chicken breast (cut into bite-sized pieces) and cook until no longer pink on the outside, about 5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Add the 4 cups chicken broth, 2 sliced carrots, and 2 diced potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Stir in the 1 cup green beans and cook for another 5 minutes, until beans are bright green and crisp-tender.

  5. Step 5

    Reduce heat to low and stir in the 0.5 cup heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat through for 2 minutes, but do not boil.

  6. Step 6

    Serve hot, with crusty bread if desired.
