Instructions

  1. Season and Cook the Chicken
    Season the chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear chicken for 5–6 minutes per side, or until cooked through and golden. Set aside to rest, then slice.
  2. Boil the Ramen
    Cook ramen noodles in boiling water according to package directions (about 3 minutes). Drain and set aside.
  3. Make the Creamy Chili Sauce
    In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add butter. Sauté garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in chili garlic sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, and chicken broth. Simmer for 2 minutes.
  4. Add the Cream
    Lower the heat and stir in the cream. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, 2–3 minutes. Taste and adjust spice level if needed.
  5. Bring It All Together
    Add the cooked noodles into the sauce, tossing to coat. Add sliced chicken on top and drizzle with extra chili oil if desired.
  6. Top and Serve
    Serve hot, garnished with your choice of toppings—soft-boiled eggs, green onions, sesame seeds, or a squeeze of lime for brightness.

Tips & Twists

  • Not too spicy? Add a touch of honey to balance the heat.
  • Want it extra creamy? Stir in a spoonful of cream cheese or coconut milk.
