- 1.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, diced into 1” pieces
- 2 cups carrots, diced in 1/2 inch chunks (about 3 long carrots)

Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large stock pot. While oil is heating, season chicken with salt and pepper.
- Add chicken to the stock pot and cook on high heat for for about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until brown on all sides. Remove and set aside on a plate
- Add onion, celery, carrot and minced garlic to the stock pot. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until onion starts to become translucent, stirring often and scraping the bottom to loosen the browned bits
