Instructions
Creating Chicken Ramen w/ Creamy Garlic Sauce is simple and rewarding. Follow these steps for a delicious outcome:
1. Cook the Chicken: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Add them to the pot and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Remove from the pot and let it rest before slicing it into strips.
2. Sauté Garlic and Ginger: In the same pot, add minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
3. Add Broth: Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. This will create the base for your ramen.
4. Cook the Noodles: Add the ramen noodles to the pot. Cook according to the package instructions, typically 3-4 minutes, until tender.
5. Prepare the Sauce: Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream and soy sauce. Mix well until the sauce is creamy and smooth.
6. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Add the sliced chicken back into the pot. Stir to coat the chicken in the creamy sauce thoroughly.
7. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.
8. Serve: Ladle the ramen into bowls. Top with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and cilantro if desired.
