Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 2 chicken breasts
Main Noodles:
- 2 packs instant ramen noodles
Seasonings and Liquids:
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons garlic (minced)
- 4 green onions (sliced)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Combine soy sauce, chili sauce, and honey in a mixing vessel, then thoroughly coat chicken pieces. Allow flavors to meld for 30-45 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Warm olive oil in a spacious cooking pot over medium-high heat. Introduce marinated chicken, searing until golden brown and completely cooked through, approximately 6-8 minutes.
- Incorporate minced garlic and paprika, stirring vigorously to release aromatic essence for 1-2 minutes.
- Stream chicken broth into the pot, elevating temperature until liquid reaches a robust boil. Carefully immerse ramen noodles, cooking precisely according to package guidance.
- Gently fold heavy cream into the bubbling mixture, reducing heat to low. Simmer for 4-5 minutes, allowing broth to develop a luxurious, slightly thickened consistency. Calibrate seasoning with salt and freshly cracked pepper.
- Transfer steaming ramen into serving bowls, artfully garnishing with thinly sliced green onions. Serve immediately while piping hot.
Notes
- Customize the heat level by adjusting the amount of chili sauce to suit different spice tolerances.
- Marinate chicken longer for deeper flavor penetration, up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- Use low-sodium chicken broth to control salt content and accommodate dietary restrictions.
- For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with coconut milk or Greek yogurt for a protein-packed alternative.
