Prep

01
Mince 1 tablespoon fresh ginger.

Mince 3 cloves garlic.

Method

01
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then add to the pan. Cook 5–6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F). Transfer to a cutting board.

Pour in 3 cups chicken broth and 3 tablespoons soy sauce. Bring to a simmer.
04
Break noodles (discard seasoning packets) and add to the broth. Simmer 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender.
05
Slice the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and return to the skillet. Stir and cook 1 minute to warm through.
06
Divide between bowls. Top with sliced green onion and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Spice Tips

For a hint of heat, add 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes when you cook the ginger and garlic. For more umami depth, substitute 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce with miso paste mixed into the broth. A splash of rice vinegar (1 tablespoon) at the end brightens the whole bowl.

For extra richness, stir in 1 tablespoon of sesame oil at the end. Swap chicken breast for thighs if you prefer more flavor and forgiving cook time.
