Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 chicken breasts
- 50g all-purpose flour
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 8 sun-dried tomatoes, sliced
- 1/2 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 tablespoon oregano
- 1/2 tablespoon chili flakes
- 600ml chicken stock (plus more if needed)
- 300ml single cream
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan (plus extra for garnish)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon flaky salt
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 200g ramen noodles
- Optional toppings: coriander, bean sprouts, spring onion, edamame beans, chili oil
Instructions
- Lightly coat the chicken breasts in flour. In a deep pan over medium heat, add olive oil and pan-fry the chicken until golden on both sides (about 4 minutes per side). Set aside.
- In the same pan, sauté garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, paprika, chili flakes, and oregano for 2 minutes. Add chicken stock and cream, stir well, and grate in the parmesan.
- Return the chicken to the pan, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove the chicken again and slice.
- Season the broth with salt, pepper, and sugar. Add more chicken stock if needed and drop in the ramen noodles. Cook according to packet instructions.
- Ladle the broth and noodles into bowls. Top with sliced chicken and desired toppings such as coriander, bean sprouts, spring onions, edamame, and chili oil.
- Serve hot and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Adjust seasoning after cream and cheese are added to balance saltiness and richness.
- For extra flavor, add 1 tbsp of oil from the sun-dried tomato jar when sautéing.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 74°C (165°F).
- Freshly grated parmesan melts better and tastes stronger than pre-shredded.
- Noodles and creamy broth don’t freeze well; best enjoyed fresh or refrigerated for up to 3 days.
