Chicken
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Ginger Glaze
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 garlic clove, minced
Ramen
- 2 packs ramen noodles (discard seasoning packet)
- 4 cups water
- Prepare the Ginger Glaze: In a small bowl, combine grated ginger, soy sauce, honey, and minced garlic to create a flavorful glaze. Set aside.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the pan. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
- Glaze the Chicken: Pour the ginger glaze over the cooked chicken in the skillet. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes, turning the chicken to coat it evenly and let the glaze thicken slightly.
- Cook the Ramen Noodles: Meanwhile, bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a separate pot. Add the ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions, typically 3-4 minutes, until tender. Drain and set aside.
- Combine and Serve: Slice the glazed chicken into strips and serve over the cooked ramen noodles. Spoon any remaining glaze from the skillet over the top before serving for extra flavor.
Notes
- Use fresh ginger for the best flavor.
- Adjust soy sauce and honey quantities to taste for a sweeter or saltier glaze.
- For added veggies, consider sautéed spinach or bok choy on the side.
