Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Sweet onion (thinly sliced)
• 1.5 tablespoons Fresh ginger (grated)
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 4 cups Chicken broth
• 8 ounces Dried egg noodles
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 medium Lemon (zested and juiced)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 0.25 teaspoon Optional: crushed red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and sear for 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the sliced sweet onion. Cook for 2-3 minutes until softened and lightly golden, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Stir in the grated ginger and minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Scrape the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits for added flavor.

Step 6

Add the dried egg noodles, soy sauce, and the seared chicken thighs back into the pot. Cover with a lid and simmer over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the noodles are tender and the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).

Step 7

Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and fresh parsley. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt, black pepper, or soy sauce if needed.

Step 8

Optional: Sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes for a hint of heat.

Step 9

Serve hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired, and enjoy!
