- 6 cups chicken broth

- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Dice the vegetables and season the chicken with salt, pepper, and thyme.

- Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4 hours, until the chicken is tender.
- Remove the chicken, shred it into bite-sized pieces and return it to the pot.
