02 - Stir in the garlic and let it cook for about a minute. Sprinkle in thyme, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
03 - Pour in the broth along with the chicken breasts. Bring it all to a slow boil, then lower the heat. Simmer for 20 minutes, covering the pot, until the chicken’s fully done.
