Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients
For the Chicken
2 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
For the Broth
3 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup heavy cream
For the Creamy Garlic Sauce
1 tablespoon butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup heavy cream
For the Ramen
2 packs ramen noodles (fresh or dried)
1 green onion, chopped (for garnish)
1 teaspoon chili oil (optional, for extra heat)
Instructions
Marinate the Chicken: In a small bowl, combine chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture all over the chicken and let it sit for 15 minutes.
Cook the Chicken: Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden. Let it rest, then slice.
Prepare the Creamy Garlic Sauce: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Stir in the heavy cream and cook for 1–2 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
Cook the Ramen Noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the ramen according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Make the Spicy Broth: In a saucepan, heat sesame oil. Add minced garlic and sauté briefly. Pour in chicken broth, soy sauce, and heavy cream. Let simmer for 5–7 minutes to meld flavors.
Assemble the Bowls: Divide the ramen noodles between two bowls. Pour over the spicy broth. Top with sliced chicken and drizzle with the creamy garlic sauce.
Garnish & Serve: Sprinkle with chopped green onion and drizzle chili oil on top for extra heat. Serve hot and enjoy.
Notes
Add more toppings like soft-boiled eggs, sesame seeds, or sautéed mushrooms for extra flavor and texture.
To make it spicier, increase the chili powder or add a pinch of cayenne to the broth or garlic sauce.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of broth or cream if needed.
Use fresh ramen noodles for the best texture, but dried works too in a pinch.
