Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - shredded
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon butter

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
10 sprigs Italian flat leaf parsley
3 sprigs fresh thyme

Directions

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Place chicken in the pot, season with salt and pepper, and cook 5 minutes, until juices run clear. Remove chicken, and set aside. Reduce heat to medium-low. Melt butter in the pot. Stir in onion and garlic and cook 5 minutes. Stir in flour, and cook until lightly browned.
