Ingredients

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

3 cups chicken broth

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon sesame oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

¼ cup heavy cream

1 tablespoon butter

2 cloves garlic, minced

¼ cup heavy cream

2 packs ramen noodles (fresh or dried)

1 green onion, chopped (for garnish)

1 teaspoon chili oil (optional, for extra heat)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Coat the chicken thighs or breasts with the spice mixture, ensuring both sides are well covered. Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. Remove from heat, let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then slice it into thin strips.
  2. Make the Broth: In a medium pot, add the chicken broth, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and heavy cream. Stir to combine. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Let the broth simmer for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  3. Prepare the Creamy Garlic Sauce: In a separate small pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. Cook the Ramen: In a separate pot, bring water to a boil. Add the ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions (usually 3-4 minutes for dried noodles). Drain the noodles and set aside.
  5. Assemble the Dish: Divide the cooked ramen noodles between two bowls. Pour the prepared broth over the noodles. Add the sliced chicken on top of the ramen. Drizzle the creamy garlic sauce over the chicken and ramen. Garnish with chopped green onions and chili oil for an extra kick of heat (if desired).
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Serve your Fiery Chicken Ramen with Creamy Garlic Sauce immediately, and enjoy the rich, spicy, and creamy flavors in every bite!

Notes

Spice it up: Add extra chili powder or hot sauce for more heat.

Vegetarian option: Replace chicken with tofu or tempeh, and add more vegetables like mushrooms or spinach to the broth.

Low-carb: Use zucchini noodles or shirataki noodles instead of traditional ramen noodles.

Optional garnish: Add soft-boiled eggs, sesame seeds, or a drizzle of sesame oil for extra flavor.
