Fiery Chicken Ramen with Creamy Garlic Sauce
Ingredients You’ll Need
For the chicken:
2 fresh chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 tbsp soy sauce (salty and rich!)
1 tbsp chili sauce (for that fiery kick!)
1 tbsp honey (a touch of sweetness to balance it all out)
For the ramen:
2 packs instant ramen noodles
4 cups chicken broth (beautiful and flavorful)
1 cup heavy cream (luxuriously creamy)
2 tbsp garlic, minced (fragrant and irresistible)
1 tsp paprika (a warm, smoky touch)
2 tbsp olive oil
4 green onions, sliced (for that fresh, vibrant finish)
Salt and pepper to taste
Step-by-Step Magic
1️⃣ Marinate the Chicken�In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, chili sauce, and honey. Toss in your chicken pieces and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes. Trust me, this step adds a whole world of flavor.
2️⃣ Cook the Chicken�Heat a splash of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add your marinated chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it’s golden and perfectly caramelized. The smell is already incredible!
3️⃣ Add the Aromatics�Toss in the minced garlic and paprika. Stir for about a minute, letting the garlic release its magic. This is where the aroma turns your kitchen into a gourmet restaurant!
4️⃣ Broth and Noodles Time�Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle boil. Add your ramen noodles and cook them as directed on the package. They’ll soak up all that flavorful broth—yum!
5️⃣ Make It Creamy�Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Let it simmer gently for about 5 minutes until the broth becomes rich, thick, and irresistibly creamy.
6️⃣ Finish with Freshness�Serve the ramen hot and steaming, topped with a handful of sliced green onions. They add the perfect pop of color and a fresh crunch.
