Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Marinade
- 2 chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
Broth and Sauce
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Noodles and Garnish
- 2 packs instant ramen noodles
- 4 green onions, sliced
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: Mix the chicken pieces thoroughly with soy sauce, chili sauce, and honey. Cover and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and sauté for about 6-7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned.
- Add Flavor: Stir in the minced garlic and paprika with the chicken, cooking for 1 minute until the mixture is fragrant to enhance the aroma of the dish.
- Add Broth and Noodles: Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a boil. Add the instant ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually 3-5 minutes, until noodles are tender.
- Incorporate Cream: Lower the heat to a gentle simmer and stir in the heavy cream. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes to thicken slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve: Divide the ramen and broth into bowls. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- For more heat, increase the chili sauce or add crushed red pepper flakes.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to control salt intake.
- Substitute heavy cream with coconut milk for a dairy-free version.
- Adding a soft-boiled egg or vegetables like spinach or mushrooms enhances nutrition and texture.
