Method
 

Cooking Chicken and Broth
  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken from the pot and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
  4. Add the ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually about 3 minutes.
Finishing the Dish
  1. Meanwhile, slice the cooked chicken into strips and add it back to the pot along with the spinach, mushrooms, heavy cream, and soy sauce. Stir until the spinach is wilted and everything is heated through.
  2. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions.

Notes

For a lighter option, use less heavy cream and add more vegetables. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Freeze only the broth and chicken for better texture.
