  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 2–3 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, sliced

  • 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • ½ tsp smoked paprika (optional)

For the Creamy Ramen:

  • 2–3 packs instant ramen (discard seasoning packets)

  • 1 tbsp butter

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1½ cups heavy cream or half & half

  • 1 tbsp soy sauce

  • 1 tsp sriracha or chili garlic sauce (adjust to taste)

  • ¼ cup Parmesan or shredded mozzarella (optional for extra creaminess)

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Optional toppings: scallions, soft-boiled eggs, chili flakes, sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Cook the Chicken
    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika. Sear for 4–5 minutes per side or until cooked through. Set aside and slice.

  • Boil the Noodles
    Cook ramen noodles according to package directions (without the seasoning packet). Drain and set aside.

  • Make the Sauce
    In the same skillet, melt butter. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Pour in cream, soy sauce, and sriracha. Stir and simmer for 2–3 minutes.

  • Combine Noodles & Sauce
    Add cooked ramen to the cream sauce and toss to coat. Stir in cheese if using, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

 

  • Assemble Bowls
    Divide noodles into bowls. Top with sliced chicken and your favorite garnishes. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Control the spice by adjusting sriracha to taste or subbing in chili crisp for a different flavor profile.

  • No dairy? Use coconut milk or cashew cream for a creamy non-dairy option.

  • Make it your own: Add bok choy, mushrooms, or spinach for an extra veggie boost.

  • Use fresh ramen for an even more authentic bite if available.

 

  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days—add a splash of broth or cream to reheat!
