Ingredients
  

For the Ramen:

  • 2 packs of ramen noodles discard the seasoning packets
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs (or substitute with chicken breast)
  • 4 cups chicken broth low-sodium recommended
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sriracha adjust for spice preference
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp chili flakes optional for extra heat
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp ginger powder
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms shiitake or button mushrooms work well
  • 1 medium carrot julienned
  • 2 green onions chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 soft-boiled egg optional, for topping

For the Creamy Garlic Sauce:

  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or substitute with coconut cream for a dairy-free option
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese optional, for added richness
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour or cornstarch for gluten-free
  • 1/2 cup milk or almond milk for a lighter alternative
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

  • Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Season the chicken thighs with 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp ginger powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

Step 2: Cook the Ramen Base

  • In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp sesame oil and sauté 1 cup sliced mushrooms and 1 julienned carrot for 3-4 minutes until tender.
  • Pour in 4 cups chicken broth, 1 cup water, 2 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp sriracha. Bring to a gentle boil.
  • Add the 2 packs of ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions (usually 3-4 minutes).

Step 3: Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce

  • In a separate saucepan, melt 2 tbsp unsalted butter over medium heat.
  • Add 4 cloves minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute).
  • Whisk in 1 tbsp all-purpose flour to create a roux, then slowly pour in 1/2 cup milk and 1/2 cup heavy cream, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
  • Add 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (if using) and season with salt and pepper. Simmer until the sauce thickens (about 5 minutes).

Step 4: Assemble the Dish

  • Slice the cooked chicken into thin strips.
  • Divide the ramen noodles and broth into bowls.
  • Top with chicken slices, creamy garlic sauce, and a soft-boiled egg (if desired).
  • Garnish with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of chili flakes for extra heat.
