Bringing It All Together

- Add chicken broth and soy sauce; scrape any browned bits from the pan.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer and add ramen noodles; cook according to package instructions (usually 4-5 minutes) until tender.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in heavy cream and red pepper flakes for added spice.

Making It Your Own (Swaps & Ideas)
Feel free to swap chicken for shrimp or tofu if you prefer. You can also add vegetables like spinach or bell peppers for extra color and nutrition. For a different kick, try using sriracha or chili oil instead of red pepper flakes.
How We Love to Serve It
I love serving this dish in big bowls to enjoy the warmth and comfort it brings. Pairing it with a light salad or some crusty bread completes the meal nicely.
A Few Tips For Success
Make sure you let your chicken rest before slicing; this keeps the juices inside. Keep a close eye on the noodles to avoid overcooking them. If you want it extra spicy, don’t hold back on the red pepper flakes!
Saving Some For Later
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They can last up to three days. To reheat, simply warm them up in the microwave or on the stove with a splash of broth to keep everything creamy.
