Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 1 head of fresh garlic
- 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 2 tsp low-sodium soy sauce
- Fresh thyme or rosemary (to taste)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the tops off the garlic bulbs, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 30-35 minutes until soft.
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large pot over medium heat, sauté the chicken in olive oil until golden brown, about 5–7 minutes per side.

- Pour in the chicken broth and squeeze the roasted garlic cloves into the pot. Bring to a simmer.
- Reduce heat and let simmer for 20–25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Remove chicken, shred it, and return it to the pot.
