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)
Broth and Sauce
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp chili sauce
Noodles and Garnish
- 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 the bite-sized chicken pieces with soy sauce, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly and let it sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until golden brown and fully cooked, approximately 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Prepare the Broth: In the same skillet, pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle boil. Stir in the heavy cream and chili sauce, mixing well to combine and create a creamy chili-infused broth.
- Cook the Noodles: Add the instant ramen noodles to the simmering broth and cook according to package instructions, typically 3 to 4 minutes, until tender.
- Combine and Heat Through: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the noodles and broth. Stir gently to combine all ingredients and heat for an additional 2 minutes to meld flavors.
- Serve and Garnish: Ladle the fiery chicken ramen into bowls. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions and sprinkle sesame seeds on top for an added nutty crunch and freshness.
Notes
- For extra heat, increase the amount of chili sauce or add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce salt content if desired.
- Substitute heavy cream with coconut milk for a dairy-free version.
- To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free soy sauce and gluten-free ramen noodles.
- For added vegetables, consider tossing in mushrooms, spinach, or sliced bell peppers during the broth preparation.
