Instructions
Creating Creamy Garlic Chicken Ramen is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat and cook the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes on each side. Remove and let rest before slicing.
2. Sauté Garlic: In the same pot, add minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
3. Add Liquids: Pour in the chicken broth and water. Bring to a simmer.
4. Add Noodles: Add the ramen noodles to the pot. Cook according to package instructions, usually about 3-4 minutes.
5. Create the Sauce: Stir in the heavy cream and soy sauce. Mix well until combined and creamy.
6. Slice the Chicken: While the noodles are cooking, slice the cooked chicken into thin strips.
7. Thicken the Sauce (Optional): If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch with a little water and stir it into the broth. Let it simmer until thickened.
8. Combine: Add the sliced chicken back into the pot, mixing everything together gently.
9. Season: Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired.
10. Serve: Ladle the creamy ramen into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions.
