Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry, season with salt and pepper, then heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 3 to 4 minutes until browned, then set aside.
  2. Reduce heat to medium, add remaining olive oil, then sauté the garlic, onion, celery, and carrots for 5 to 8 minutes until softened.
  3. Deglaze the pot with white wine, scrape up brown bits, and simmer for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Add diced potato and 3 cups of chicken broth, return the chicken, and simmer uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes until cooked through.
  5. Melt butter in a medium pot, whisk in flour until golden, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Slowly whisk in milk and cream, cooking until thickened, about 5 minutes.
  7. Combine the creamy mixture with the soup, shred chicken, and return it to the pot. Simmer for a few more minutes.
  8. Stir in corn and peas, heating through for 2-3 minutes. Adjust thickness with broth if needed.
