Step 5: Cook Chicken
  While broth simmers, pat chicken dry with paper towels.
  Season with salt.
  Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
  Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side
  Drizzle with remaining sesame oil and turn chicken a few times to coat.
  Transfer chicken to a cutting board to rest.

Step 6: Cook Mushrooms & Spinach
  Add mushrooms and a pinch of salt to pan used for chicken over medium- high heat.

Step 7: Slice Chicken and Plate
  Slice chicken crosswise.

  Sprinkle with a few crispy onions and serve.
  TIP: Don’t add all the onions just yet! Add as you eat to keep them nice and crispy.
