Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 250 g Boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs
  • 2 packs Instant ramen noodles seasoning packets discarded
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp Soy sauce
  • 1 tsp Sesame oil
  • 1/2 cup Chicken broth
  • 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
  • 1 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp Chili flakes optional

Method
 

  1. Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of oil and sauté the chicken pieces for 4-5 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  2. Prepare the Sauce: In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, soy sauce, sesame oil, and chicken broth. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  3. Cook the Noodles: While the sauce simmers, cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  4. Combine and Serve: Add the cooked chicken and noodles to the skillet with the creamy sauce. Toss everything together until well-coated. Garnish with green onions, parsley, and chili flakes (if using). Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Dairy-Free Option: Substitute heavy cream with coconut milk and Parmesan with nutritional yeast.
  • Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free ramen noodles and tamari instead of soy sauce.
  • Add Veggies: Stir in spinach, mushrooms, or shredded carrots for extra nutrition.
  • Spice It Up: Add sriracha or chili oil for a spicy kick.
