Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Seasoning
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
Noodles and Broth
- 2 servings fresh ramen noodles
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
Sauce and Aromatics
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
Garnish
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Cilantro (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients on your countertop for an organized cooking process, ensuring everything is ready and measured before starting.
- Cook Chicken: Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Season the boneless, skinless chicken breasts and cook them for about 6-7 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan, set aside, and let it rest to retain juices.
- Sauté Garlic and Prepare Broth: In the same pan, sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and soy sauce, scraping the pan to release any browned bits for added flavor.
- Cook Noodles: Bring the broth mixture to a simmer, then add the fresh ramen noodles. Cook according to the package instructions, typically 4-5 minutes, until the noodles are tender and have absorbed the flavors.
- Add Cream and Spice: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and red pepper flakes. Mix well to create a creamy, spicy sauce that coats the noodles.
- Slice and Serve: Slice the rested chicken into strips and arrange them on top of the creamy ramen noodles. Garnish with sliced green onions and cilantro if desired, then serve immediately.
Notes
- Adjust the red pepper flakes according to your desired spice level.
- You can substitute fresh ramen noodles with dried noodles if unavailable, adjusting cooking time accordingly.
- Use low-sodium broth and soy sauce to control saltiness.
- Heavy cream adds richness; for a lighter option, substitute with coconut milk or a dairy-free alternative.
- Letting the chicken rest before slicing helps keep it juicy and tender.
