Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F. Place chicken breasts on a sheet pan and season with salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let rest briefly, then dice or shred into bite-sized pieces.
While the chicken bakes, melt butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add celery, onion, and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Slowly whisk in chicken broth until smooth. Add potatoes, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12–15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender
Stir in the diced chicken, frozen carrots, frozen peas, and heavy cream. Simmer uncovered for another 5–7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is heated through.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper, if needed. Serve warm with biscuits, if using.
Notes
Shortcut: Don’t want to cook chicken? Rotisserie chicken works great—just shred about 4 cups and add it to the soup as directed.
