Cooking Steps
- Peel, then cut potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Add potatoes, half the garlic salt and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Season with pepper, then toss to coat.
- Roast in the middle of the oven, until potatoes are golden-brown, 20-22 min.
- Roughly chop spinach.
- Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Carefully slice into the centre of each chicken breast, parallel to the cutting board, leaving 1/2-inch intact on the other end. Open up chicken like a book, then season chicken with remaining garlic salt and pepper.
- Heat a large pot over medium-high heat.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp oil, then chicken. (TIP: For 4 ppl, cook chicken in two batches, using 1 tbsp oil for each batch.) Sear until chicken is golden brown, 1-2 min per side.
- Add mirepoix to the pot with chicken. Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies soften slightly, 3-4 min.
- Add Mediterranean Spice Blend. Cook, stirring often and scraping browned bits from bottom of pot, until fragrant, 30 sec.
- Stir sun-dried tomato pesto, chickpeas (including their liquid), cream and 1 1/2 cups (2 1/2 cups) warm water into the pot with chicken and veggies.
- Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce heat to medium and simmer until chicken is cooked through, 6-8 min.**
- When chicken is done, use tongs to remove it from soup to a plate.
- Using two forks, shred chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- When potatoes are tender, add to the pot with soup.
- Stir in shredded chicken and spinach, until spinach wilts, 1 min. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Divide soup between bowls. Sprinkle chili flakes over top, if desired.
If you've opted to get chicken breasts, carefully slice into the centre of each chicken breast, parallel to the cutting board, leaving 1/2-inch intact on the other end. Open up chicken like a book, then season and cook it in the same way the recipe instructs you to season and cook the chicken thighs.
