Heat a large pot with olive oil and sauté carrots, parsnips, celery, leek, and onion for approximately 4-5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, salt, and pepper, and cook for another minute.
Poach the chicken, adding thyme, bay leaf and stock. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat. Cover the pot, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
