- The Soothing Base & Protein:
- 1 lb Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts or Thighs: Kept whole to simmer and shred later (lean and easy on the stomach).
- 4 cups Low-Sodium Chicken Broth: A rich, hydrating foundation for our pot.
- 2 cups Water: To keep the liquid levels balanced as the rice plumps.
- The Digestive Powerhouse Aromatics:
- 2 tbsp Fresh Ginger: Peeled and finely grated (ginger contains natural gingerol compounds that relax the intestinal tract and prevent acid irritation!).
- 3 Cloves Fresh Garlic: Finely minced or crushed.
- 1 Medium Yellow Onion: Finely diced.
- The Grains & Vibrant Greens:
- 3/4 cup Long-Grain White Rice: Thoroughly rinsed (white rice is incredibly easy for the stomach to break down seamlessly before sleep!).
- 2 cups Fresh Baby Spinach: Rough chopped, to melt beautifully into the hot broth.
- The Finishing Accents:
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil: For softening our initial aromatics.
- 1 Green Onion (Chive): Finely sliced for a bright green garnish.
- A tiny pinch of Coarse Sea Salt & Black Pepper: Keeping things clean and minimal!
