Ingredients

Scale

For the chicken:

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

For the broth and noodles:

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 8 sun-dried tomatoes, sliced
  • 1/2 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tbsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tbsp red chili flakes
  • 2 1/2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 1/4 cups single cream
  • 2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese (plus more for serving)
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp flaky salt
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 7 oz ramen noodles

For the toppings:

  • Fresh cilantro
  • Bean sprouts
  • Edamame beans
  • Scallions
  • Chili oil

Instructions

  1. Coat and Sear the Chicken: Pour the all-purpose flour onto a plate and thoroughly coat both chicken breasts. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the floured chicken breasts and fry each side for about 4 minutes until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  2. Prepare the Tomato Cream Sauce: Using the same saucepan, add minced garlic, sliced sun-dried tomatoes, smoked paprika, dried oregano, and red chili flakes. Fry for a couple of minutes until fragrant. Pour in about 1 1/4 cups of chicken stock and all of the single cream. Mix well and grate in the parmesan cheese, adding extra for richness if desired.
  3. Simmer Chicken in the Sauce: Return the seared chicken breasts to the saucepan with the sauce. Cover with a lid and cook gently for 5 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside to cool slightly before slicing.
  4. Season Broth and Cook Noodles: Season the sauce in the pan with flaky salt, ground black pepper, and sugar. Taste and adjust seasoning. Pour in the remaining chicken stock (about 1 1/4 cups), then add the ramen noodles. Cook according to package instructions, stirring frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
  5. Assemble and Garnish the Ramen: Divide the broth and cooked noodles into bowls. Top each bowl with sliced chicken. Garnish with fresh cilantro, bean sprouts, edamame beans, scallions, chili oil, and an extra sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese. Drizzle chili oil to add a spicy kick if desired.

Notes

  • For extra richness, grate additional parmesan cheese into the sauce as it simmers.
  • Use chili oil sparingly to adjust the heat level according to your preference.
  • Ensure frequent stirring of noodles to prevent clumping and achieve even cooking.
  • Let the chicken rest briefly after cooking before slicing to retain juices and tenderness.
  • This recipe serves 4; adjust ingredient quantities proportionally for different serving sizes.
