Ingredients

• 300 grams Chicken breast (boneless, skinless)
• 1000 ml Chicken bone broth (unsalted)
• 100 grams Red lentils
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves
• 15 grams Ginger (fresh, grated)
• 2 peppers Red chili peppers (adjust according to heat preference)
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
• 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 100 grams Spinach leaves (fresh)
• 2 stalks Green onions (sliced)
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro (fresh, chopped)
• 1 lime Lime (cut into wedges)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Optional: Crushed red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the ingredients: chop the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, mince the garlic, grate the ginger, and thinly slice the green onions and red chili peppers.

Step 2

In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and sliced red chili peppers, and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the chicken breast pieces to the pot and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are lightly browned on all sides.

Step 4

Pour in the chicken bone broth and bring it to a gentle simmer. Once simmering, add the red lentils and stir well to avoid sticking.

Step 5

Cover the pot and let the lentils cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until they become tender and start to thicken the broth.

Step 6

Stir in the soy sauce, sriracha sauce, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste and add optional crushed red pepper flakes if you prefer an extra kick of heat.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and add the fresh spinach leaves. Stir until they wilt, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

Serve the broth hot in bowls. Garnish with sliced green onions, chopped cilantro, and a wedge of lime on the side for squeezing before eating.
