Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Chicken

• 2 fresh chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp chili sauce
• 1 tbsp honey

For the Ramen

• 2 packs instant ramen noodles
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tbsp garlic, minced
• 1 tsp paprika
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 4 green onions, sliced
• Salt and pepper to taste

Step-by-Step Instructions 🥢

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, mix soy sauce, chili sauce, and honey. Add chicken pieces and let marinate for at least 30 minutes. This builds deep flavor before cooking.

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add marinated chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes until golden and caramelized. The smell will fill your kitchen with magic!

Step 3: Add Garlic & Paprika

Toss in minced garlic and paprika. Stir for about 1 minute until fragrant—this infuses the broth with bold, smoky richness.

Step 4: Build the Broth

Pour in chicken broth, bring to a gentle boil, and add ramen noodles. Cook until the noodles are tender and absorb that spicy broth.

Step 5: Make It Creamy

Lower the heat, stir in heavy cream, and let simmer for 5 minutes. The broth becomes luxuriously creamy with a spicy kick. 🌶️

Step 6: Garnish & Serve

Ladle into bowls, top with sliced green onions, and serve piping hot. Perfect with a side of crispy spring rolls or steamed dumplings.
