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
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 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 chicken breast pieces with soy sauce, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated and set aside for 10 minutes to marinate.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken pieces and cook until they are golden brown and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Prepare the Broth: In the same skillet, pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Stir in the heavy cream and chili sauce, mixing until fully combined and heated through, creating a creamy, spicy broth.
- Cook the Noodles: Meanwhile, cook the instant ramen noodles according to package instructions without using the seasoning packets. Once cooked, drain and divide the noodles among four bowls.
- Assemble the Ramen: Place the cooked chicken on top of the noodles in each bowl. Ladle the creamy garlic and chili broth over the chicken and noodles.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle thinly sliced green onions and sesame seeds over each bowl. Serve immediately for a warm, comforting, and fiery meal.
Notes
- Discard the seasoning packets from the instant ramen noodles to control the dish's sodium and flavor.
- Adjust the amount of chili sauce to your preferred spice level.
- Use low-sodium chicken broth to minimize salt content.
- For a richer flavor, you can toast the sesame seeds lightly before sprinkling.
- If you prefer, substitute the chicken breasts with thighs for a juicier texture.
