Instructions
Creating Creamy Garlic Chicken Ramen is easy and rewarding. Follow these simple steps for a delicious outcome:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat and add the chicken. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from the pot and let rest.
2. Sauté Garlic and Ginger: In the same pot, add the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
3. Add Broth and Water: Pour in the chicken broth and water. Bring to a simmer.
4. Cook the Ramen: Add the ramen noodles to the pot and cook according to package instructions, usually about 3-4 minutes.
5. Make it Creamy: Once the noodles are cooked, lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well to combine.
6. Add Vegetables: Stir in the sliced mushrooms and spinach. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts and the mushrooms are tender.
7. Slice the Chicken: While the vegetables are cooking, slice the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces.
8. Combine: Add the sliced chicken back into the pot. Stir everything together and let it warm through for another minute.
9. Season: Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes as desired.
10. Serve: Ladle the creamy garlic chicken ramen into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions and fresh cilantro if desired.
