Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, onion, carrots and celery. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften.
Stir in the garlic, thyme, rosemary, ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Cook for 30 seconds.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir for 1 minute. Slowly add the broth, stirring until smooth.
Add the potatoes. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes, until the potatoes and carrots are tender.
Stir in the cooked chicken, peas, corn and milk. Simmer uncovered over low heat for about 5 minutes, until heated through. Do not let the soup boil after adding the milk.
Stir in the parsley. Taste, adjust the seasoning and serve warm.
