Ingredients :

• 2 fresh chicken breasts, diced
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp chili sauce
• 1 tbsp honey
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 packs instant ramen noodles
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• Soft-boiled eggs (optional)
• Sliced green onions (optional)

Directions :

1. In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, chili sauce, and honey. Add the diced chicken, tossing to coat evenly. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes.

3. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Stir in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes. Add the Parmesan cheese and stir until melted. For extra heat, sprinkle in crushed red pepper flakes.
4. Cook the ramen noodles in a pot of boiling water according to package instructions. Drain the noodles and toss with sesame oil.
5. Add the cooked chicken to the creamy garlic sauce. Stir in the cooked ramen noodles. Taste and adjust seasoning.
6. Divide the ramen into bowls and top with optional toppings. Serve immediately.
