???? Ingredients (U.S. Measurements)
For the Chicken:
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into strips
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to spice preference)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Garlic Cream Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha or chili garlic sauce (adjust to heat level)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese (optional but adds richness)
For the Ramen:
- 2 packs of ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
- Fresh parsley, green onions, or sesame seeds, for garnish
- Extra chili oil or sriracha for topping (optional)
???? Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Chicken
In a bowl, toss the chicken with paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and sear for 4–6 minutes, turning occasionally until fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Step 2: Make the Garlic Sauce
In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute). Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute more.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth while whisking, then add heavy cream, soy sauce, sriracha, and black pepper. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly (about 5 minutes). Stir in parmesan if using, then return the chicken to the pan.
Step 3: Cook the Ramen
Boil ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and add directly to the skillet, tossing to coat in the creamy garlic sauce.
Step 4: Serve It Up
Spoon the fiery ramen into bowls, top with extra sauce, and garnish with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, or a drizzle of chili oil for extra heat.
