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
- Coat and Sear the Chicken: Pour the all-purpose flour onto a plate and coat both chicken breasts thoroughly. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat and fry the chicken breasts for about 4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- Prepare the Tomato Cream Sauce: In the same saucepan, add minced garlic, sliced sun-dried tomatoes, smoked paprika, red chili flakes, and dried oregano. Fry for 2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in 1 1/4 cups chicken stock and the cream, then mix well and grate in the parmesan cheese for richness.
- Simmer Chicken in the Sauce: Return the seared chicken breasts to the saucepan with the sauce. Cover and let cook gently for 5 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside to cool before slicing.
- Season the Broth and Cook the Noodles: Season the sauce with flaky salt, ground black pepper, and sugar. Taste and adjust as needed. Add the remaining 1 1/4 cups chicken stock and the ramen noodles. Cook according to package instructions while stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
- Assemble and Garnish the Ramen: Divide the noodles and broth between two bowls. Top with sliced chicken and garnish with fresh cilantro, bean sprouts, edamame beans, scallions, chili oil, and extra grated parmesan cheese if desired. Drizzle chili oil for an added spicy kick.
Notes
- Use fresh herbs and toppings to add texture and brightness to the dish.
- Adjust chili flakes and chili oil to your spice preference.
- For extra richness, add more parmesan cheese when preparing the sauce.
- To save time, you can use pre-cooked shredded chicken but searing adds better flavor.
- Ramen noodles can be substituted with any thin egg noodles if unavailable.
