Ingredients
Scale
- For the Chicken:
- 2 chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon chili sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- For the Ramen:
- 2 packs instant ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- 4 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
- Start this delicious dish by to marinating the chicken. In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, chili sauce, and honey until well blended. Add the chicken pieces and toss them until they are evenly coated with the marinade. This step is crucial as it infuses the chicken with deep flavors that will elevate your ramen. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes, giving it time to absorb the flavors and become tender.
- Once the chicken has marinated, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken pieces to the pot, ensuring not to overcrowd them. Cook the chicken for about 6–7 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through. It’s essential to sauté the chicken at the right temperature to get that perfect sear and lock in the juices. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- With the chicken cooked, it’s time to enhance the dish’s aroma by adding the minced garlic and paprika to the pot. Stir the mixture for about a minute until the garlic becomes fragrant, but be careful not to burn it, as burnt garlic can turn bitter. This step will elevate the flavor and set the stage for the broth that follows.
- Next, pour in the chicken broth, and bring the mixture to a boil. This flavorful base will complement your noodles beautifully. Once boiling, add the ramen noodles and cook them according to the package instructions, which usually takes about 3–4 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent the noodles from clumping together, and watch them soften into the broth.
- After the noodles are cooked, reduce the heat to low, and gently stir in the heavy cream. This rich addition will make the broth creamy and smooth. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes; this step lets the flavors meld together beautifully and coats the noodles with a luscious sauce.
- Finally, it’s time to enjoy your delicious ramen! Carefully divide the contents into individual bowls. For a pop of color and a bit of crunch, garnish the ramen with sliced green onions and freshly cracked black pepper. Serve hot and prepare to dive into a comforting bowl of Fiery Chicken Ramen with Creamy Garlic Sauce. Your taste buds are in for a treat!
