In a large Dutch oven soften onion in two tablespoons of olive oil. Add carrots and celery. Soften. Add garlic. Stir for a minute. 2. Add thyme and oregano, rubbing between your hands to break apart. Stir. Add chili flakes. 3. This is the key! Add white vinegar to the center of the mixture. Stir. 4. Shred chicken and mix into the vegetables. 5. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, remaining oil, honey, salt and pepper. 6. Make a well in the middle of the pot, pushing all chicken and veggies to the sides. Pour lemon mixture in the well. Allow to bubble. Stir for a minute and let reduce. 7. Add chicken stock. Bring to a boil and then reduce to simmer. 8. If you like brown rice or noodles (🙋🏻‍♀️)— cook as directed, separately, and add to each bowl as they are ladled out. 9. Yum. (original post date: 6/23/2021 via   / jennifer.garner  )
