Ingredients
4 skinless boneless chicken thighs
2 packs ramen noodles
1 cup heavy cream
6 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon chili paste or hot sauce (adjust to taste)
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons butter divided
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
3 green onions chopped
Instructions
1. Combine soy sauce, chili paste, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add chicken thighs and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken until deeply browned and fully cooked. Let it rest, then slice.
3. In a separate pot, boil water and cook ramen noodles as per package instructions. Drain and set aside.
4. Using the same skillet, reduce heat and add another tablespoon of butter. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
5. Pour in the heavy cream, stir, and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes until the sauce thickens.
6. Add cooked noodles to the sauce and toss to coat.
7. Plate noodles in bowls, top with sliced chicken, chopped green onions, and extra chili oil if desired.
Notes
Letting the chicken marinate for a few hours intensifies the flavor beautifully.
To thin out leftover sauce, add a splash of broth or cream when reheating.
Serve immediately after tossing the noodles in sauce for best texture.
