   Step 3: Heat the ready chicken broth (2 cups) in a large pot over medium heat. Meanwhile, sauté the cut chicken with 1 teaspoon oil in a frying pan for a few minutes, then transfer it to the broth. Wipe the frying pan clean and heat the remaining 1 teaspoon oil. Cook the cut onion, add the carrot and potatoes, and sauté for a couple of minutes. Transfer these vegetables to the broth. Lower to medium-low, cover and simmer for about 15 minutes, continuing until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is fully cooked, reaching 74°C (165°F).
