Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Low sodium chicken broth
- 1 piece (about 8 ounces) Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce, low sodium
- 1 package Noodles, ramen-style (preferably low sodium, 3-ounce package)
- 2 cups Baby spinach
- 1 medium Carrot, julienned
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Cracked black pepper
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring the low sodium chicken broth and water to a simmer over medium heat.
Add the boneless, skinless chicken breast to the saucepan and poach for about 10-12 minutes, or until fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the broth and set aside to cool slightly.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the garlic, ginger, and carrots. Once the chicken is removed, add the garlic and ginger to the broth, allowing them to simmer for about 2 minutes.
Slice or shred the cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
Add the low sodium soy sauce, ramen noodles, and carrots to the broth, and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the noodles are nearly tender.
Add the spinach and shredded chicken to the pot, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the spinach wilts and chicken is heated through.
Stir in the sesame oil and cracked black pepper to taste.
Serve the ramen hot, garnished with sliced green onions.
