Behind the Recipe
This batch-cook soup keeps the chicken juicy, the vegetables familiar, and the broth creamy without turning dinner into a multi-pan project.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, approximately 4 chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced

Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F.
- Rub the whole chicken breasts with the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Air-fry for 10 to 14 minutes, turning halfway, until each breast reaches 165°F. Rest for 5 minutes, then slice or dice.
- While the chicken cooks, add the onion, carrots, celery, wild rice, bone broth, thyme, salt, and pepper to a large soup pot.
- Bring to a boil, reduce to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook according to the wild rice package directions, approximately 35 to 40 minutes, until the rice and vegetables are tender.
- Remove the pot from the heat. Place the Greek yogurt in a bowl and slowly whisk in 1 cup of hot broth. Stir the tempered yogurt mixture back into the soup without boiling.
- Stir in the cooked chicken. Measure the finished soup and adjust with additional hot broth if needed so the total yield equals 12 cups.
- Divide into six servings of 2 cups each, confirming that each portion contains 4 ounces cooked chicken.
40/400 Notes
- Keep the chicken breasts whole during cooking and slice only after resting.
- Do not boil the soup after adding Greek yogurt or it may separate.
- The final batch must equal 12 cups for the listed serving size and macros.
