  3. Season with 1 3/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, and 1 tbsp herbes de Provence.

Notes

– For the most flavorful soup, use a good quality dry white wine that you would also enjoy drinking.
– To ensure the chicken is perfectly cooked and juicy, use a meat thermometer. Cooked chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
– Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop over medium-low heat, adding a splash of stock or water if needed to maintain consistency.
