Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by chopping all your vegetables into bite-sized pieces while your chicken breasts rest on the counter to bring them to room temperature.
Sauté Aromatics and Chicken: In a large pot over medium heat, add some oil and sauté minced garlic and ginger until fragrant—about 1-2 minutes—then add diced chicken breasts until lightly browned.
Add Broth and Veggies: Pour in chicken broth along with chopped carrots and celery. Bring everything to a gentle boil while stirring occasionally for about 3-5 minutes.
Add Noodles and Seasonings: Toss in egg noodles along with soy sauce. Cook until noodles are tender—about 8-10 minutes—while stirring gently to avoid sticking.
Finish with Garnishes: Remove from heat, stir in sesame oil, and sprinkle chopped green onions on top for freshness before serving hot.
