Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 500 g chicken breast, sliced into thin strips

Broth and Seasoning

  • 30 g olive oil (2 tbsp)
  • 15 g garlic (4 cloves), minced
  • 960 g chicken broth (4 cups), unsalted
  • 60 g soy sauce (1/4 cup), low-sodium preferred
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Noodles and Garnish

  • 240 g ramen noodles (2 packets), seasoning discarded
  • 240 g heavy cream (1 cup) or full-fat coconut milk
  • 15 g green onions (2), chopped

Instructions

  1. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chicken strips and cook until they turn golden brown and are thoroughly cooked, about 5 to 7 minutes. Once done, remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
  2. Sauté Garlic: In the same pot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to let it brown.
  3. Prepare Broth: Pour in the soy sauce followed by the unsalted chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
  4. Cook Ramen Noodles: Add the ramen noodles directly into the simmering broth and cook until they are tender but still slightly firm, approximately 3 to 4 minutes. Optionally, you can remove the noodles briefly and set aside to prevent them from becoming too soft.
  5. Combine Chicken and Cream: Return the cooked chicken to the pot. Reduce the heat to low, then slowly stir in the heavy cream (or coconut milk) until the broth becomes smooth and creamy. Make sure the mixture does not boil after adding the cream to avoid curdling.
  6. Serve: Divide the noodles evenly among bowls. Ladle the creamy garlic chicken broth over the noodles, garnish with chopped green onions, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Notes

  • Keep the heat low when adding cream to prevent curdling.
  • Taste before adding salt as soy sauce already adds saltiness.
  • For extra comfort, add mushrooms or spinach during the broth simmer step.
  • Sprinkle chili flakes if a bit of heat is preferred.
  • Store leftovers in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days, preferably keeping broth and noodles separate.
  • Reheat leftovers gently on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of broth or water as needed; avoid boiling to maintain silky broth texture.
