Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch chunks*
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, diced
3 carrots, peeled and diced
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried oregano
5 cups chicken stock
2 bay leaves
1 (9-ounce) package refrigerated three cheese tortellini
2 zucchini, cut in half lengthwise then sliced crosswise
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice, optional
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper, to taste.
Add chicken to the stockpot and cook until golden, about 2-3 minutes; set aside. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the stockpot. Add garlic, onion and carrots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in thyme and oregano until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Whisk in chicken stock, bay leaves and 1 cup water; bring to a boil. Stir in chicken and tortellini; reduce heat and simmer until tortellini is cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Stir in zucchini until tender, about 2 minutes.
Stir in lemon juice, if using, and parsley; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Serve immediately.

Notes

*Boneless, skinless chicken breasts can be substituted.
