Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Cook the Vegetables
- Add the chopped bok choy and sliced carrots to the broth and let them simmer for about 5-7 minutes until tender.
Prepare the Ramen Noodles
- Boil water in a separate pot and cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions, usually 3-4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Combine and Serve
- Slice the seared chicken into strips and return to the skillet with the broth and vegetables.
- Add the cooked ramen noodles, mixing everything until noodles are coated in glaze.
- Serve in bowls, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
