- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced

- 2 stalks celery diced
- 500 g boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced
- 1 liter chicken broth
- 1 tsp thyme dried
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 cup plain yogurt

Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.

- Pour in the chicken broth and add the thyme and oregano. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
