Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken, shredded
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 8 oz rice noodles
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 cup bok choy, chopped
- Soy sauce to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 lb of shredded chicken, 4 cups of chicken broth, 8 oz of rice noodles, 2 sliced green onions, 1 cup of chopped bok choy, and soy sauce to taste.
- In a large pot, bring the 4 cups of chicken broth to a gentle boil over medium heat.
- Once the broth is boiling, add the 8 oz of rice noodles to the pot. Cook according to the package instructions, usually around 4-6 minutes, until the noodles are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent them from sticking.
- While the noodles are cooking, prepare the bok choy. Wash and chop the bok choy into bite-sized pieces, ensuring to separate the leafy greens from the stems for even cooking.
- After the rice noodles are cooked, add the shredded chicken and the chopped bok choy stems to the pot. Let it simmer for about 3-5 minutes until the chicken is heated through and the bok choy stems are tender.
- Next, add the bok choy leaves to the pot and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until they are wilted.
- Season the broth with soy sauce to taste, stirring well to incorporate the flavors. Start with a tablespoon and adjust according to your preference.
- Once everything is well combined and heated through, remove the pot from the heat.
- Serve the Chicken and Rice Noodles in Broth hot, garnished with the sliced green onions on top for added flavor and color.
- Enjoy your delicious Chicken and Rice Noodles in Broth as a comforting meal!
Tips
- Choose high-quality chicken broth for the best flavor base. Homemade is ideal, but a good store-bought low-sodium broth works wonderfully.
- When cooking rice noodles, be careful not to overcook. They can quickly become mushy, so follow package instructions and test for doneness frequently.
- For extra flavor, consider adding minced garlic or ginger to the broth while it's simmering.
- To make the dish more nutritious, you can add additional vegetables like sliced carrots or mushrooms.
- If you prefer a spicier version, add a dash of sriracha or red pepper flakes to the broth.
- For a more intense chicken flavor, use rotisserie chicken or season your shredded chicken with a bit of salt and pepper before adding to the broth.
- Prep all ingredients before starting to cook, as this dish comes together quickly and requires attentive cooking.
