Description

This Fiery Chicken Ramen with Creamy Garlic Sauce is a perfect weeknight meal, delivering a bold, slurpable dinner full of comfort. It layers chili heat and tender grilled chicken over silky noodles in a rich, creamy garlic broth for a restaurant-style bowl you can make right at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon chili paste or sriracha
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 packs ramen noodles (seasoning packets discarded)
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red chili flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Toss chicken breasts with soy sauce, sesame oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken 6–7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Rest, then slice thinly.
  3. In a large pot, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger, cooking until fragrant. Stir in chili paste and cook 1 minute.
  4. Pour in chicken broth, coconut milk, soy sauce, and sugar. Simmer for 10 minutes. Adjust salt to taste.
  5. Meanwhile, cook ramen noodles separately according to package directions. Drain well.
  6. Divide noodles into bowls. Ladle hot broth over noodles.
  7. Top with sliced chicken, green onions, cilantro, and chili flakes if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Cook ramen noodles until just al dente to avoid mushiness. Simmering the broth at least 10 minutes is key for deep flavor. Always cook noodles separately to keep broth clear.
