Description

This Fiery Chicken Ramen with Creamy Garlic Sauce is the ultimate cozy comfort food with a spicy twist. Featuring juicy seared chicken thighs, a velvety garlic cream broth, and perfectly chewy noodles, this dish hits every craving—from rich and creamy to smoky and fiery.


Ingredients

4 chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)

4 garlic cloves (minced)

1 cup heavy cream

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon chili paste (adjust to taste)

2 cups chicken stock

6 ounces ramen noodles

2 tablespoons oil (vegetable or avocado oil)

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and black pepper to taste

2 green onions (finely chopped)

Optional: chili oil and sesame seeds for garnish


Instructions

1. Season the chicken thighs with paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper.

2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 6–8 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Set aside to rest, then slice into strips.

3. In the same skillet, lower heat and add more oil if needed. Add minced garlic and sauté until golden and fragrant.

4. Pour in chicken stock. Bring to a gentle simmer.

5. Stir in heavy cream, soy sauce, and chili paste. Let it simmer for 5 minutes to infuse the flavors. Adjust seasoning to taste.

6. Cook ramen noodles separately according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

7. Add the cooked noodles into the broth and toss gently to coat.

8. Top with sliced chicken, green onions, and optional garnishes like chili oil or sesame seeds.

9. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, replace heavy cream with full-fat coconut milk for a creamy alternative.

Always cook noodles separately to prevent them from becoming mushy in the broth.

You can prep the broth and chicken a day ahead—just cook the noodles fresh when ready to serve.
