Note

For added flavor, consider adding aromatics like ginger slices, scallions, or a splash of soy sauce to the stock before simmering.

Ensure the liquid is at a gentle simmer rather than a rolling boil to keep the chicken breast tender and prevent it from becoming tough.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.

This dish pairs well with steamed rice or fresh vegetables to create a balanced meal.
