Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large chicken breast
- 2 medium zucchini
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 inch piece ginger
- 2 scallions
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
Instructions
Spiralize the zucchinis into noodles and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the sesame oil, and cook the chicken breast for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice into thin strips.
In the same skillet, add chopped garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and add soy sauce. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.
Crack the eggs into a small bowl and beat them lightly. Slowly drizzle into the simmering broth while stirring continuously to create egg ribbons.
Add the zucchini noodles to the broth and allow them to cook for 2-3 minutes until just tender.
Stir in the baby spinach and sliced scallions, cooking until the spinach is wilted, about 1 minute.
Add the red pepper flakes, season with more salt and pepper to taste, and give the broth a final stir.
Divide the zucchini noodle soup into bowls and top each with the sliced chicken breast.
Serve hot and enjoy your low-carb chicken ramen noodles!
