Ingredients

  • 4 quarts no salt added chicken broth
  • 1 tsp Chinese 5 spice powder
  • 1 chicken breast, boneless, skinless, sliced very thin on the bias
  • 8 ounces straight cut rice noodles cooked according to package directions (Thai style)
  • 2 carrots cut in thin strips
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro or parsley
  • 1 cup bean sprouts
  • 1/2 cup green onion
  • 1 serrano chili, sliced thin

Instructions

  1. Bring the broth to a boil, add the 5 spice powder then lower heat to a simmer. Add the sliced chicken breast, cook until done, about 3-5 minutes, then pull out of the broth with a strainer ladel. Keep the broth at a simmer. It should reduce to about 3 cups.
  2. Cook the noodles in water according to package directions. Strain.
  3. Assemble the pho: Place the noodles in 2 bowls then top with the broth, dividing between 2 bowls. Top with the chicken and raw veggies. Serve hot.

Judy Doherty, MPS, PCII discovered her love of cooking at her grandmother's side, stirring raisin oatmeal on a Saturday morning. By 15 she had her first food service job. At 18 she was accepted to the Culinary Institute of America, where she graduated second in her class, then went on to the Fachschule Richemont in Switzerland to study pastry arts and baking. A decade with Hyatt Hotels followed before she founded Food and Health Communications with a single conviction: food that is good for you should taste extraordinary.

Judy holds a Master of Professional Studies in Food Business from the Culinary Institute of America, a Bachelor of Science in Culinary Arts from Johnson and Wales University (Summa Cum Laude), two art certificates from UC Berkeley Extension, and the CIA's Pro Chef II certification. She has earned the American Culinary Federation Bronze Medal, Gold Medal, and ACF Chef of the Year award.

Today she develops every recipe on this site, shoots and styles food through her food photography and motion studio, and publishes nutrition education materials for dietitians, schools, extension offices, and health professionals through nutritioneducationstore.com. She uses the latest nutritional science and Dietary Guidelines to drive her creativity — whether that means a new twist on fajitas or Italian brownies made with toasted nuts and cooked honey. Her mission has never changed: help everyone make food that tastes as good as it is for them.
