Description
A quick and filling one-pan meal featuring cooked chicken, ramen noodles, and a smooth garlic cream broth with a kick of heat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
- Fresh ramen noodles
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Cilantro (optional)
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients on your countertop for an organized cooking process.
- In a large pan over medium heat, add oil and cook seasoned chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from the pan and let rest to keep the chicken juicy.
- In the same pan, sauté minced garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute), being careful not to burn it.
- Add chicken broth and soy sauce, scraping any browned bits from the pan for added flavor.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer and add ramen noodles; cook according to package instructions (usually 4-5 minutes) until tender.
- Stir to prevent noodles from sticking.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in heavy cream and red pepper flakes, heating gently to avoid boiling.
- Slice the rested chicken into strips and serve over the creamy noodles, garnishing with green onions and cilantro if desired.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
Pat the chicken dry before seasoning for a better sear. Use fresh noodles for the best texture. Adjust the heat by modifying red pepper flakes.
