Oct 10, 2025 02:26 AM
This Quick Chicken Pho delivers all the rich flavors of traditional Vietnamese pho in a fraction of the time. With fragrant herbs and spices, and tender shredded chicken, the broth comes together quickly for a satisfying, family-friendly meal.
We all love traditional pho here, but making it completely from scratch usually takes over an hour–sometimes longer depending on how serious you are about being authentic. This shortcut recipe uses premade chicken broth, along with plenty of herbs and spices, to help you create a delicious pho, even on busy weeknights!
Fast & Flavorful – Thanks to a quick-simmering broth infused with warm spices and fresh herbs, you get the deep, aromatic flavors of traditional pho in about 30 minutes.
Customizable – Add your favorite toppings like bean sprouts, basil, scallions, lime, or Sriracha to make it your own.
Family-Friendly – This is a hearty, comforting meal that’s mild enough for kids but easily spiced up for those who like more heat. Think of it as chicken soup with an Asian flare.
