Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 4 cups Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Hoisin sauce
• 2 packages Ramen noodle blocks
• 1 medium Carrot, julienned
• 3 stalks Scallions, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Sriracha (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts with salt and ground black pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Pour the chicken broth into the skillet, scraping the bottom to deglaze. Stir in soy sauce and hoisin sauce.

Step 5

Bring the broth to a simmer, then return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cover and let it cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F).

Step 6

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the ramen noodles by discarding the seasoning packets and breaking the noodle blocks in half.

Step 7

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the broth and shred it into bite-sized pieces using two forks.

Step 8

Add the shredded chicken back into the broth, along with the ramen noodles and julienned carrots. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the noodles are tender.

Step 9

Stir in sesame oil and half of the sliced scallions. Adjust the seasoning to taste with additional soy sauce or sriracha for heat.

Step 10

Divide the ramen noodles and chicken into bowls. Garnish with the remaining scallions, sesame seeds, and chopped cilantro before serving.
