IIn a large Dutch oven or stock pot, add the light butter, onion, celery, garlic,, salt, and black pepper.

Sauté over medium-high heat and add the chicken and lemon juice.

Cook until chicken is cooked and veggies are tender.

Add 4 Tbsp flour, thyme, parsley, and poultry seasoning.

It will appear to have a greenish color, which is from the poultry seasoning-but don’t worry-once it finished it will taste amazingly delicious!

Stir constantly until flour is completely incorporated. Keep stirring as you add the unsweetened almond milk and the chicken broth. Stir well.

Cover with a lid and let it come to a boil so it thickens.
