Fiery Chicken Ramen with Creamy Garlic Sauce
This ramen recipe is a game-changer. Tender, smoky chicken is coated in a bold spice blend and grilled to perfection before being paired with creamy garlic broth and springy noodles. The layers of flavor come together harmoniously—heat from the chicken, creaminess from the sauce, and the umami of the ramen.
INGREDIENTS
4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
2 packs ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp cooking oil
2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Marinate the Chicken: Season chicken thighs with paprika, chili powder, cayenne, garlic powder, and black pepper. Let rest for 15 minutes.
2. Cook the Chicken: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and let rest before slicing.
3. Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce heat and add minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, then deglaze with chicken broth and soy sauce. Stir in heavy cream and simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.
4. Cook the Noodles: Prepare ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
5. Assemble: Divide cooked noodles into bowls. Pour creamy garlic sauce over the noodles and top with sliced chicken.
6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped green onions over each bowl and serve immediately.
