Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Broth

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups water

Noodles and Creamy Sauce

  • 3 packs of ramen noodles (discard the seasoning packets)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (mixed with 2 tablespoons water)

Flavorings

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Vegetables and Garnishes

  • Vegetables of your choice (e.g., spinach, bok choy, bell peppers)
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • Fresh cilantro (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Chicken: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Cook each side for 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove from pot and let rest before slicing.
  2. Sauté Garlic and Ginger: In the same pot, add minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, taking care not to burn the garlic.
  3. Add Broth and Water: Pour in the chicken broth and water, then bring the mixture to a simmer.
  4. Cook the Noodles: Add ramen noodles to the pot and cook according to package instructions, typically 4-5 minutes, until noodles are tender.
  5. Create Creamy Sauce: Stir in heavy cream, soy sauce, and optional red pepper flakes to the broth, allowing it to simmer gently.
  6. Thicken the Broth: Add the cornstarch slurry (cornstarch mixed with water) to the pot, stirring continuously until the broth thickens slightly.
  7. Add Vegetables: Add your choice of vegetables such as spinach or bok choy into the pot and cook until wilted and tender.
  8. Slice Chicken: While noodles and vegetables are cooking, slice the rested chicken breasts into strips or bite-sized pieces.
  9. Assemble and Serve: Divide the creamy ramen broth with noodles and vegetables into bowls, top with sliced chicken, and garnish with sliced green onions and fresh cilantro if desired.
  10. Enjoy: Serve hot immediately and savor the delicious creamy garlic chicken ramen.

Notes

  • Discard seasoning packets from ramen for best flavor control.
  • The red pepper flakes are optional and can be adjusted for desired spiciness.
  • Use fresh vegetables to add color and nutrition to your ramen.
  • Resting the chicken before slicing keeps it juicy and tender.
  • The cornstarch slurry is important for thickening the broth to achieve the creamy texture.
