Recipe Tips

• Homemade Chicken Broth: For an extra depth of flavor, consider using homemade chicken broth instead of store-bought. You can make it by simmering chicken bones with aromatics like onions, carrots, and celery.
• Fresh Herbs: While dried parsley works well in this recipe, using fresh parsley can elevate the flavor even more. Add it towards the end of cooking for a burst of freshness.
• Marinating Chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of lemon juice, herbs, and spices before cooking can infuse it with extra flavor and tenderness.

In The Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the soup to an oven-safe dish and cover it with aluminum foil. Heat for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the soup is hot throughout.
