Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
- Oil for cooking (about 1 tbsp)
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
- 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 to ensure a smooth workflow.
- Cook Chicken: Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Season chicken breasts as desired and cook them for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest to retain juices.
- Sauté Garlic: In the same pan, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Add Broth and Soy Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and soy sauce, scraping the browned bits from the bottom of the pan to build flavor.
- Simmer and Cook Noodles: Bring the mixture to a simmer then add the fresh ramen noodles. Cook according to package instructions (usually 4-5 minutes) until the noodles are tender.
- Create Creamy Sauce: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and red pepper flakes to infuse creaminess and spice into the broth.
- Serve: Slice the rested chicken breasts into strips. Serve the chicken over the creamy garlic ramen noodles, then garnish with sliced green onions and optional fresh cilantro for brightness and freshness.
Notes
- Adjust red pepper flakes to your preferred spice level.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce and chicken broth to control saltiness.
- Letting the chicken rest after cooking keeps it juicy.
- Fresh ramen noodles work best but dried can be used with adjusted cooking time.
- Cilantro is optional but adds a nice fresh herbal note.
