Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add sweet potato and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add garlic and onion, and cook, stirring frequently, until onions have become translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in thyme and rosemary until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Whisk in chicken stock, bay leaves and 2 cups water; bring to a boil. Add chicken; reduce heat and simmer. Cook, covered, until the chicken is cooked through, about 10-12 minutes. Remove chicken and shred, using two forks; set aside.
  4. Stir in pasta and cook until tender, about 8-10 minutes. Stir in spinach until wilted, about 2 minutes.
  5. Stir in chicken and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  6. Serve immediately, garnished with chives, if desired.
