Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust for spice level)
Salt and pepper to taste
4 cups chicken broth
2 cups water
2 packs of instant ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sriracha (or more to taste)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
Fresh cilantro (for garnish, optional)
Lime wedges (for serving, optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook the chicken for about 6–7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and let it rest before slicing.
Step 2: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and water, bringing it to a simmer. Add the ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually about 3–4 minutes.
Step 3: Once the noodles are cooked, stir in the heavy cream, soy sauce, sriracha, and sesame oil. Adjust the spice level by adding more sriracha if desired. While the noodles are cooking, slice the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Step 4: Add the sliced chicken back into the skillet and stir to combine everything. Serve the ramen in bowls, garnished with sliced green onions and fresh cilantro. Add lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor if you like.

Tips & Variations

Add vegetables like spinach, bok choy, or bell peppers to boost nutrition and flavor.
Substitute chicken with shrimp or tofu for a different protein option.
Use fresh ramen noodles or other noodles like udon or soba for a unique twist.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of broth or water if the ramen has thickened.

FAQs

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

While this ramen is best enjoyed fresh, you can prepare the chicken and broth in advance. Cook the noodles separately just before serving to keep them from getting too soft.
