Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 2 chicken breasts
Noodles:
- 2 packs instant ramen noodles
Liquid and Sauce Ingredients:
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Seasonings and Aromatics:
- 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 4 green onions, sliced
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Blend chicken with soy sauce, chili sauce, and honey in a mixing bowl. Allow flavors to meld for 30 minutes at room temperature.
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Sear marinated chicken until golden brown and fully cooked, approximately 6-7 minutes.
- Introduce minced garlic and paprika to the pot, stirring vigorously to release aromatic oils for 60 seconds.
- Pour chicken broth into the pot, bringing liquid to a rolling boil. Submerge ramen noodles and cook according to package timing, typically 3-4 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low and gently fold heavy cream into the bubbling mixture, creating a silky texture. Allow sauce to thicken for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Transfer ramen to serving bowls, ensuring even distribution of chicken and creamy sauce.
- Garnish with finely sliced green onions for a fresh, sharp contrast to the rich, spicy base.
Notes
- Marinate chicken longer for deeper flavor infusion, ideally up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- Customize heat levels by adjusting chili sauce quantity to suit personal spice tolerance.
- Swap heavy cream with coconut milk for a dairy-free alternative that maintains creamy texture.
- Use low-sodium broth to control salt content and create a healthier version of the dish.
