Instructions

- Stir in zucchini and bell pepper and cook until slightly softened, about another 2 minutes.
- Sprinkle in almond flour to create a roux and cook for another minute.
- Slowly add the chicken broth while continuously stirring until it starts to thicken and comes together.
- Stir in Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes (optional), cannellini beans, and canned tomatoes. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently.
- Add the cooked chicken cubes. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes.
- Stir in spinach leaves and apple cider vinegar. Cook another 3 minutes or until everything is heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot. Top with fresh parsley (optional).
