Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 packs ramen noodles
- 1 cup green onions, chopped
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, mix together the minced ginger, soy sauce, and honey. Marinate the chicken in this mixture for at least 15 minutes to absorb flavors.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat the sesame oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until it’s browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. The chicken should have a nice golden exterior.
- Slice the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pot, slice it thinly, and set it aside.
- Simmer the Broth: In the same pot, add chicken broth and bring it to a simmer.
- Add the Vegetables: Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook for about 3 minutes until they start to soften.
- Cook the Noodles: Add the ramen noodles to the pot and cook according to package instructions, usually about 3-4 minutes.
- Combine and Serve: Return the sliced chicken to the pot, season with salt and pepper, stir in the chopped green onions, and serve hot.
Notes
Use low-sodium soy sauce if you prefer a lower salt option. For a gluten-free option, choose gluten-free ramen noodles and tamari instead of soy sauce.
