Heat butter and minced garlic in a skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the garlic becomes light golden brown. Be careful not to burn it.
Add chicken stock, salt, and pepper. Stir and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Place ramen noodles in the skillet and cook, stirring every 20-30 seconds to loosen the noodles. Let the noodles cook for about 3-5 minutes.
Continue cooking until most of the liquid evaporates, leaving just a small amount to coat the noodles.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the remaining melted butter and chopped parsley.
Serve hot and enjoy!

For extra creaminess, you can add a splash of heavy cream or more butter.
