Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 2 packs ramen noodles
• 1 cup fresh vegetables (e.g., broccoli, carrots, or bell peppers)
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Green onions for garnish

Preparation ingredients ready to go for a delightful ramen experience.

Directions

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the pot. Cook until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and let it rest before slicing.

2. In the same pot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

3. Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Add the ramen noodles and fresh vegetables, cooking until the noodles are tender and the vegetables are cooked but still crisp, about 3-4 minutes.

4. Stir in the heavy cream and soy sauce, mixing until the sauce is well combined and heated through.

5. Slice the rested chicken and add it back to the pot to warm through.

6. Serve hot, garnished with green onions.

Tips & Variations

• Ingredient Substitutions: You can use chicken thighs instead of breasts for extra flavor. For a vegetarian option, replace chicken with tofu and use vegetable broth.
• Optional Variations: Add an egg or two to the broth for extra protein and richness. Spicy lovers can add chili flakes or sriracha for a kick.
• Storage or Reheating Tips: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pot over low heat, adding a splash of broth or water to prevent the noodles from becoming too soft.
