Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs), sliced
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sriracha (or chili garlic sauce)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil

For the Ramen:

  • 2 packs ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil

For the Creamy Garlic Sauce:

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter version)
  • 1 tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste) or sriracha
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for extra heat)
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese (for extra creaminess)

For Garnish:

 

  • 1 soft-boiled egg, halved
  • 2 tbsp green onions, chopped
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 1 tsp chili oil (optional, for extra heat)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

  1. In a bowl, mix sliced chicken, soy sauce, sriracha, black pepper, and garlic powder. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes, flipping occasionally, until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 2: Cook the Ramen

  1. In a pot, bring chicken broth, soy sauce, and sesame oil to a boil.
  2. Add ramen noodles and cook for 2-3 minutes, until just tender. Drain and set aside, reserving about ½ cup broth for extra flavor.

Step 3: Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce

  1. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Stir in heavy cream, gochujang (or sriracha), soy sauce, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add some reserved ramen broth to loosen it up.

Step 4: Assemble & Serve

  1. Toss the cooked ramen noodles into the creamy garlic sauce, mixing well.
  2. Divide the ramen into bowls and top with spicy chicken, a soft-boiled egg, green onions, sesame seeds, and chili oil.
  3. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Make it extra spicy: Add more gochujang, sriracha, or chili oil to taste.

Protein swap: Try shrimp, tofu, or beef instead of chicken.

Lighter version: Use half-and-half or coconut milk instead of heavy cream.

Customize the broth: Add mushrooms, bok choy, or corn for extra depth.
