instructions
    1

    Start by placing the chicken in a large pot and cover it with 4 cups of water. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.

    2

    While the chicken is cooking, chop the celery, carrot, onion, and garlic. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and skim any foam that rises to the surface.

    3

    Add the chopped vegetables, bay leaf, black peppercorns, and salt to the pot.

    4

    Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 45 minutes. This allows all the flavors to meld and the chicken to become tender.

    5

    After 45 minutes, carefully remove the chicken from the pot and place it on a cutting board. Let it cool slightly, then shred the meat, discarding the skin and bones.

    6

    Return the shredded chicken to the pot and taste the broth, adjusting salt as needed.

    7

    Simmer for an additional 10 minutes before serving.
