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)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Broth and Noodles
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp chili sauce
- 2 packs instant ramen noodles (seasoning discarded)
Garnish
- 3 stalks green onions (thinly sliced)
- Sesame seeds (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, combine chicken pieces with soy sauce, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly and let it marinate for about 10 minutes to enhance flavor.
- Cook Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until the pieces are browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Prepare Broth: Pour the chicken broth into the skillet with the cooked chicken. Bring it to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to simmer.
- Add Cream and Chili Sauce: Stir in the heavy cream and chili sauce into the broth. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the broth is creamy and flavorful.
- Cook Noodles: Add the instant ramen noodles to the simmering broth. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until noodles are tender, stirring occasionally to separate the noodles.
- Serve and Garnish: Ladle the ramen with chicken and creamy broth into bowls. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions and sprinkle sesame seeds on top for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, increase the chili sauce or add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- You can substitute chicken breasts with thighs for a juicier texture.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce salt content if preferred.
- Instead of heavy cream, coconut milk can be used for a dairy-free alternative.
- Feel free to add vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or bean sprouts for extra nutrition and texture.
