Ingredients
- 1.25 lbs Boneless chicken thighs

- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Pepper
- 1 tsp Cajun seasoning
- 1 tsp Onion powder

Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add carrots, celery, onion, bell peppers, and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Pour in chicken broth, add the chicken thighs, and season with salt, pepper, Cajun seasoning, onion powder, rosemary, and thyme. Stir and simmer over medium heat for about 15–20 minutes, or until the chicken is tender.
