Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Marinade
- 2 chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt & pepper (to taste)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Broth and Sauce
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp chili sauce
Ramen and Garnishes
- 2 packs instant ramen noodles (seasoning discarded)
- 3 stalks green onions (thinly sliced)
- Sesame seeds (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine chicken pieces with soy sauce, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper; allow to marinate for 10 minutes to enhance flavor.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add marinated chicken pieces and cook until they are browned and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes.
- Prepare the Broth: Pour chicken broth into the skillet with the cooked chicken. Stir in the heavy cream and chili sauce, then bring to a gentle simmer to create a creamy, spicy sauce.
- Cook the Noodles: In a separate pot, cook the instant ramen noodles according to package instructions, but discard the seasoning packets. Drain and set aside.
- Combine and Serve: Add the cooked noodles into the skillet with the creamy chicken broth, stirring to coat the noodles well. Let them heat through for 1-2 minutes.
- Garnish and Enjoy: Serve the ramen in bowls topped with thinly sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- For extra heat, add more chili sauce or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- You can substitute heavy cream with coconut milk for a dairy-free version.
- If fresh green onions are unavailable, chopped chives or a mild onion can be used as garnish.
- Use gluten-free soy sauce to make this recipe gluten free.
- For a deeper garlic flavor, roast the minced garlic before adding it.
