  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Chicken Marinade

  • 2 chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp chili sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey

Broth and Sauce

  • 2 packs instant ramen noodles
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Garnish

  • 4 green onions, sliced

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: Combine soy sauce, chili sauce, and honey in a bowl. Add the bite-sized chicken pieces and coat thoroughly. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes to infuse flavor.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned on all sides and fully cooked through, about 7-8 minutes.
  3. Sauté Garlic and Paprika: Add minced garlic and paprika to the pot with the chicken. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant but not burnt.
  4. Add Broth and Noodles: Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add the instant ramen noodles and cook according to package directions, usually about 3-4 minutes, until noodles are tender.
  5. Make Creamy Sauce: Stir in the heavy cream and reduce heat to a simmer. Let it cook uncovered for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve: Ladle the creamy garlic ramen into bowls. Garnish generously with sliced green onions and serve hot for a comforting meal.

Notes

  • Marinating the chicken for at least 30 minutes enhances the flavor significantly.
  • Use fresh garlic minced finely to get the best aroma and taste in the sauce.
  • Adjust the chili sauce quantity to your preferred spice level.
  • You can substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth for a lighter option.
  • For a dairy-free version, replace heavy cream with coconut cream.
