Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 2 tablespoons butter divided
  • 8 oz mushrooms sliced baby bella
  • 1 large boneless/skinless chicken breast (about ¾ lb.)
  • Salt/Pepper
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 6 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons hot sauce (I use Frank’s hot sauce)
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • ¾ teaspoon toasted sesame seed oil
  • 2 packets instant Ramen noodles (don’t use flavor packet)
  • 6 leaves Bok Choy roughly chopped
  • ¾ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¾ teaspoon mustard powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes
  • Green Onions
  • roughly chopped honey roasted peanuts
  • Soft boiled eggs (see notes)

Method
 

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms. Sauté until golden, about 4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  2. Slice the chicken in half lengthwise to create 2 thinner slices. Cover with saran wrap and use the textured side of a meat mallet to pound it to ½ inch thick.
  3. Pat the chicken dry and season each side with salt and pepper.
  4. Heat remaining olive oil and butter in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken in batches for 4-5 minutes per side, until a golden crust has developed. Set aside and let the chicken rest for 10 minutes, then cut into strips.
  5. Add the wine and set the heat to medium. Let the wine bubble gently and reduce by half, 4-5 minutes.
  6. Add the butter and garlic and cook for 2 minutes.
  7. Add the chicken broth, soy sauce, hot sauce, honey, sesame oil, and seasonings. Bring to a gentle boil and let the broth reduce for 10 minutes while you soft boil eggs.
  8. Bring the soup to a rapid boil, add the Ramen, and cook for 1 minute. Reduce to a gentle simmer and add the Bok Choy along with the cooked mushrooms and chicken. Simmer until the noodles are done, about 3 minutes.
  9. Transfer to serving bowls and top with green onions, roughly chopped peanuts, and a soft-boiled egg.

Notes

Top with green onions, roughly chopped peanuts, and a soft-boiled egg for extra flavor.
