Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon ginger, minced

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

1 can (14 oz) coconut milk

2 cups chicken broth

4 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon fish sauce

2 tablespoons brown sugar

3 packs of instant ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)

2 cups baby spinach

1 cup sliced mushrooms

2 green onions, sliced

2 soft-boiled eggs (optional for topping)

Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let them rest before slicing them into strips.

    Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the red pepper flakes, coconut milk, chicken broth, soy sauce, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Stir well to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes.

      Add the Vegetables: Add the sliced mushrooms and baby spinach to the sauce, cooking until the mushrooms are tender and the spinach is wilted, about 3-5 minutes.

        Cook the Ramen Noodles: In a separate pot, cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions, usually around 3-4 minutes. Drain and set aside.

          Combine Everything: Once the sauce is ready, add the cooked ramen noodles directly to the skillet with the sauce and vegetables. Toss everything together gently, allowing the noodles to soak up the delicious flavors for about 2 minutes.

            Serve: Divide the ramen mixture into bowls. Top each bowl with sliced chicken, a soft-boiled egg (if using), sliced green onions, and fresh cilantro for garnish.
