For the Spicy Chicken
- 2 pieces Boneless skinless chicken breasts sliced into thin strips
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper adjust to taste
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil for cooking
For the Creamy Garlic Sauce
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 4 cloves Garlic minced
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream or half-and-half
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes optional
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
For the Ramen Bowl
- 2 packs Ramen noodles discard seasoning packets
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 cup Sliced green onions
- 0.5 cup Shredded carrots optional
- 1 piece Soft-boiled egg halved
- Sesame seeds for garnish
- Nori strips for garnish
In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, paprika, chili powder, cayenne, and black pepper. Toss the chicken strips until well coated and let rest briefly.
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 5 to 6 minutes until golden and cooked through. Set aside.
In a saucepan, melt butter and cook garlic for 30 seconds. Add cream and chicken broth, stirring constantly. Add salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Simmer 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in Parmesan and remove from heat.
Cook ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and toss with sesame oil to prevent sticking.
Divide noodles between bowls. Top with garlic sauce, chicken, green onions, carrots, and egg. Garnish with sesame seeds and nori. Serve hot.
Use fresh Parmesan for best texture and flavor. Adjust spice to taste. Leftovers can be stored separately and reheated with a splash of broth or milk to loosen the sauce.
