2 (8 ounces) Gold'n Plump® Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
8 ounces soba (buckwheat) noodles
1/2 cup coarsely shredded carrot

2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste

Instructions 

Pour chicken broth into large saucepan or Dutch oven; bring to a boil over high heat.

Stir in chicken, noodles, carrot, green onions, soy sauce, garlic, red pepper flakes, and white pepper. When liquid returns to a boil, reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook for 10 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly cooked and noodles and vegetables are tender.
