• 1 cup Mushrooms (sliced)
• 2 stalks Green onions (sliced)
• 0.25 cup Cilantro (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Pepper

Directions

Step 1

Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 3

In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until lightly browned. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.

Step 5

Step 6

Add the chicken broth, coconut milk, fish sauce, and brown sugar to the pot. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Return the chicken breasts to the pot and bring the soup to a simmer. Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and easily shred with a fork.

Step 8

Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it into bite-sized pieces. Return the shredded chicken to the soup.

Step 9

Add the julienned carrots, sliced red bell pepper, and mushrooms to the pot. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Step 10

Stir in the cooked rice noodles, lime juice, and sliced green onions. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 11

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve hot and enjoy!
