Ingredients
Scale
🔸 Spicy Chicken
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced thin
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp chili powder
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper (dial it up or down to your heat tolerance)
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
🔸 Creamy Garlic Sauce
- 2 tbsp butter
- 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1½ cups heavy cream (or use half-and-half if you prefer it lighter)
- ½ cup chicken broth
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for extra fire)
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
🔸 For the Bowl
- 2 packs ramen noodles (ditch those flavor packets)
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- ½ cup sliced green onions
- ½ cup shredded carrots (optional, but adds nice crunch)
- 1 soft-boiled egg, sliced in half
- Sesame seeds & nori strips for garnish
Instructions
- Get That Chicken Spicy & Sizzling
- Mix soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and all those glorious spices (paprika, chili powder, cayenne, and black pepper) in a bowl. Add the chicken strips and toss until everything’s well coated. Let the flavors soak in for about 10 minutes.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high. Add your marinated chicken and cook for 5–6 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and fully cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Make the Garlic Cream Magic
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds—just long enough for your kitchen to smell incredible.
- Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, whisking as you go. Season with salt, black pepper, and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if you like it spicy. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese until it melts into a smooth, velvety sauce. Take it off the heat and try not to “sample” half of it right there.
- Noodle Time
- Cook your ramen noodles according to the package directions—usually just a few minutes. Drain them well, toss with sesame oil, and get ready for assembly.
- Build the Bowl
- Scoop the ramen noodles into serving bowls, then pour that luscious garlic sauce over top.
- Add your spicy chicken, sprinkle on green onions and shredded carrots, and crown it all with your soft-boiled egg halves.
- Finish it off with sesame seeds and thin strips of nori. You’ve just created a masterpiece.
Notes
- Adjust the Fire: If you like a little burn, go heavy on cayenne or red pepper flakes. If not, tone it down—no shame in mild mode.
- Fresh Noodles = Chef’s Kiss: Fresh ramen noodles give the dish a major upgrade if you can find them.
- Balance Is Everything: Feeling like the spice is overpowering? A quick squeeze of lime or a touch more Parmesan levels things out beautifully.
