Ingredients

Scale

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
3 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
8 oz fresh ramen noodles
½ cup sliced green onions (for garnish)
1 cup sliced carrots (for garnish)
2 cups baby spinach or bok choy (for garnish)

Instructions

Finely chop garlic and grate ginger. Slice chicken into bite-sized pieces.
In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), garlic, and ginger to create the glaze.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown (about 5 minutes). Pour in the glaze and simmer until thickened (about 3 minutes).
In a separate pot, bring vegetable broth to a boil. Add noodles according to package instructions. Once cooked, toss in sliced carrots and greens until wilted (about 2 minutes).
Assemble bowls by dividing noodles, ladling hot broth over them, and topping with glazed chicken.
Garnish each bowl with sliced green onions before serving.
