A captivating and easy-to-make ramen dish featuring tender chicken marinated in a spicy blend, enveloped in a creamy garlic sauce, perfectly complemented by delicate noodles.
Ingredients
For the Ramen
- 2 pieces chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 packs instant ramen noodles
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pieces green onions, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preparation
- Start by marinating the chicken pieces in a bowl. Combine the chicken with soy sauce, chili sauce, and honey. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Cooking
- In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken to the pot and sauté for 6-7 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked.
- Stir in the minced garlic and paprika, cooking for about a minute until the garlic becomes fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, add the ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions, about 3-5 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the heavy cream to the pot, stirring gently as the sauce simmers and thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Ladle the ramen into bowls and sprinkle with sliced green onions before serving hot.
Notes
For added nutrition, consider incorporating spinach or bok choy. You can adjust the spice level with more chili sauce or garnish with jalapeños. A squeeze of lime can also elevate the flavors further. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
