Method

Place chicken, onion, garlic, celery, carrots, beets and potatoes in a Dutch oven or stockpot large enough to hold the chicken and vegetables together. Add broth, 2 cups water, parsley, bay leaves and pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.


Reduce heat to maintain a simmer and cook, uncovered, making sure the chicken is submerged (add more water if needed), for 45 to 50 minutes or until chicken is tender and juices run clear when pierced with a fork and vegetables are tender. Remove chicken from pot and set aside until cool enough to handle. Carve chicken into pieces and serve with vegetables and broth.
