Ingredients
Scale
2 medium-sized Chicken Breasts
2 packs Ramen Noodles
4 cups Chicken Broth
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 inch piece Ginger, minced
3 tablespoons Soy Sauce
Green Onions, for garnish
2 cups Spinach or Bok Choy

Instructions
Prepare the Chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large pot, heat oil and cook chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer to a plate to rest.
Create the Aromatic Base: In the same pot, add garlic and ginger, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the Broth and Noodles: Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions (about 3-4 minutes).
Add Flavor: Once noodles are nearly done, stir in soy sauce and mix in pre-cooked chicken. Allow it to heat through.
Incorporate the Greens: Add spinach or bok choy and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted.
Eggs, Oh My!: Boil eggs for 6-7 minutes for a soft center. Cool in cold water, peel, and slice in half when ready to serve.
Serve It Up: Ladle ramen into bowls, top with half an egg, sliced green onions, and drizzle with sesame oil if desired.
