Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Seasoning

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce (adjust for spice preference)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper (optional for extra heat)

Creamy Garlic Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth (or water)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar (to balance the heat)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground chili flakes (optional for extra spice)

Noodles and Garnishes

  • 2 packs of ramen noodles (discard the seasoning packet)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil (for cooking)
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
  • Fresh chili slices or chili flakes (optional, for garnish)
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper if using. This creates the flavorful base for your fiery chicken.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts carefully to the pan.
  3. Brown and Cook Thoroughly: Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, ensuring it develops a golden-brown crust. Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), indicating it’s fully cooked.
  4. Rest and Slice the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. This helps retain juices and keeps the meat tender. Then slice the chicken into thin strips for serving.

Notes

  • You can adjust the heat level by modifying the amount of hot sauce and cayenne pepper according to your preference.
  • Discard the ramen seasoning packets as they can be high in sodium and may not complement the flavors of the creamy garlic sauce.
  • Resting the chicken before slicing ensures juiciness and better texture.
  • For a lower fat option, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or a lighter cream alternative.
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro, green onions, sesame seeds, and fresh chili slices for an enhanced presentation and flavor profile.
