Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

  • 4 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 2 cups chicken stock

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon chili paste (adjust for heat)

  • 6 oz ramen noodles

  • 2 tablespoons oil (vegetable or avocado oil)

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • Salt & black pepper, to taste

  • 2 green onions, finely chopped

  • Optional: chili oil & sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

1️⃣ Sear the Chicken

  1. Season chicken thighs with paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  3. Sear chicken 6–8 minutes per side until golden and fully cooked.

  4. Transfer to a cutting board and rest before slicing.

2️⃣ Build the Creamy Garlic Broth

  1. Reduce heat to medium and add a splash of oil if needed.

  2. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant and lightly golden.

  3. Add chicken stock and bring to a gentle simmer.

  4. Stir in heavy cream, soy sauce, and chili paste.

  5. Simmer 5 minutes to thicken slightly and develop flavor.

  6. Taste and adjust salt, soy sauce, or spice level as desired.

3️⃣ Cook the Ramen

  1. Prepare ramen noodles in a separate pot according to package directions.

  2. Drain noodles well to avoid watering down the sauce.

4️⃣ Assemble the Bowls

  1. Add cooked noodles to the creamy broth and toss to coat.

  2. Top with sliced chicken.

  3. Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and a drizzle of chili oil.

Serve immediately for the best texture and heat!

Notes

  • Keep noodles separate until ready to serve — prevents mushiness.

  • Customize the heat by adjusting chili paste or adding chili crisp.

  • Dairy-free option: Replace heavy cream with full-fat coconut milk.

  • Meal prep friendly: Sauce + chicken can be prepared 1 day ahead — just cook fresh noodles when serving!
