Let's cook

Prepare vegetables first, then cut thawed chicken on a separate board. Do not wash raw chicken. Wash hands and clean utensils after handling it. Thawing time is not included.
Heat oil in a medium pot and stir onion and carrot for 4 minutes. Add chicken and stir for 3 minutes. A change in surface colour does not prove it is cooked through.
Add hot water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, partly cover and simmer for about 12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add rolled oats, salt and pepper. Simmer, stirring, for 7–10 minutes or according to the packet, until the oats are tender. Check the thickest chicken cube with a food thermometer: it must reach at least 74°C. Continue cooking if needed.
Add parsley during the last minute. Oats thicken off the heat; thin with a little hot water if needed. Serve hot after checking the chicken is fully cooked.

A helpful tip ✳

Use rolled oats. Steel-cut oats need different cooking times and liquid amounts. The soup is softly thickened, with chicken and vegetable pieces remaining.
