Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

For the Spicy Broth

  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup heavy cream

For the Creamy Garlic Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup heavy cream

Other Ingredients

  • 2 packs ramen noodles (fresh or dried)
  • 1 green onion, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 teaspoon chili oil (optional, for extra heat)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Evenly coat the chicken thighs or breasts with this spice mix and allow them to marinate for 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and sear for about 5-7 minutes on each side until the chicken turns golden brown and is fully cooked through. Remove from heat and let it rest before slicing to retain its juiciness.
  3. Prepare the Creamy Garlic Sauce: In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant and golden, about 1-2 minutes. Pour in the heavy cream and stir continuously, letting the mixture thicken slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. Cook the Ramen Noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions, typically 3-4 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
  5. Make the Spicy Broth: In another pot, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until aromatic, roughly 1 minute. Add chicken broth, soy sauce, and ¼ cup heavy cream. Bring the broth to a simmer and let it cook for 5-7 minutes to meld flavors.
  6. Assemble the Ramen Bowl: Divide the cooked ramen noodles evenly into serving bowls. Pour the spicy broth over the noodles, then top with sliced cooked chicken. Drizzle the creamy garlic sauce generously over the top.
  7. Garnish & Serve: Sprinkle chopped green onions over the ramen and drizzle with chili oil if additional heat is desired. Serve the dish hot and enjoy the harmonious blend of spicy and creamy flavors.

Notes

  • For a milder version, reduce or omit chili powder and chili oil.
  • Use chicken breasts if you prefer leaner meat, but thighs provide more flavor and juiciness.
  • Fresh ramen noodles work best for texture but dried noodles are a convenient alternative.
  • You can substitute heavy cream with coconut cream for a dairy-free twist, though the flavor profile will change.
  • Feel free to add vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or bok choy for added nutrition and color.
