Ingredients

Scale

Spicy Chicken

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Creamy Garlic Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1½ cups heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter version)
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for extra heat)
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Ramen Bowl

  • 2 packs ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • ½ cup sliced green onions
  • ½ cup shredded carrots (optional)
  • 1 soft-boiled egg, halved (for topping)
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • Nori strips (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Marinate & Cook the Spicy Chicken: In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, smoked paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. Add the sliced chicken strips and toss to coat evenly. Let the chicken marinate for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté briefly for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned. Slowly pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring constantly to combine. Add salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Let the mixture simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until completely melted and smooth.
  3. Cook the Ramen Noodles: Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the ramen noodles and cook according to the package instructions, typically 3-4 minutes. Once tender, drain the noodles and immediately toss with 1 teaspoon of sesame oil to prevent sticking and add flavor. Set aside.
  4. Assemble the Ramen Bowls: Divide the cooked ramen noodles evenly into serving bowls. Spoon the creamy garlic sauce generously over the noodles, ensuring good coverage. Top each bowl with the fiery spicy chicken strips. Garnish with sliced green onions, shredded carrots for crunch, and half a soft-boiled egg. Sprinkle sesame seeds and nori strips on top for an added nutty flavor and texture. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy the perfect balance of spicy, creamy, and savory notes.

Notes

  • Adjust the cayenne pepper quantity depending on your heat preference.
  • Use half-and-half instead of heavy cream for a lighter sauce option.
  • Soft-boil the egg for about 6-7 minutes for a slightly runny yolk.
  • For additional veggies, you can add mushrooms or spinach.
  • Make sure not to overcook the ramen noodles to avoid mushiness.
