Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, minced
• 2 cups Cremini or shiitake mushrooms, sliced
• 4 cups Chicken broth
• 8 ounces Dried soba or egg noodles
• 3 stalks Green onions, sliced
• 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds
• 2 cups Baby spinach

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts with a pinch of salt and ground black pepper. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts until golden on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the pan, cover, and set aside to rest.

Step 3

In the same pan, add the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 4-5 minutes until they release their moisture and soften.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer. Let the broth cook for 10 minutes to develop flavor.

Step 6

Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and toss with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Set aside.

Step 7

Slice the chicken into thin strips and add them back to the simmering broth to warm through.

Step 8

Add the baby spinach to the broth and stir until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 9

To serve, divide the noodles evenly among bowls. Ladle the mushroom broth with chicken and spinach over the noodles.

Step 10

Finish each bowl with a sprinkle of sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and a drizzle of soy sauce if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
