Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 carrots, peeled and diced

2 celery stalks, diced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried basil

4 cups chicken broth

1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

11 can diced tomatoes with juice

1Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Place chicken thighs and drumsticks in stock pot, add 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon black peppercorns, bay leaf, and 10 cups water. Heat on medium-high heat until mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat to low and gently simmer until meat is tender, about 45 minutes, skimming off fat from the top. Transfer meat to plate and when cool enough to handle, remove meat from the bones and cut into bite size pieces. Strain stock and reserve.
