Begin by preparing all the ingredients: thinly slice the chicken breast, remove stems from the shiitake mushrooms and slice them thinly, peel and julienne the carrot, and mince the garlic cloves.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the gluten-free rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the sliced chicken breast to the pot and stir-fry until the chicken is no longer pink, about 3-4 minutes.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the shiitake mushrooms, julienned carrots, tamari, salt, and white pepper. Let simmer for 5 minutes.
Add the baby spinach to the pot and continue to simmer until the spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes.
Divide the cooked rice noodles among serving bowls and ladle the hot broth and ingredients over the noodles.
Garnish each bowl with chopped scallions and serve immediately.
