Ingredients
Gathering your ingredients beforehand is key to a smooth cooking experience. Here’s everything you’ll need:
- 2 packs of ramen noodles (discard the seasoning packets)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Substitution Suggestions: You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts if you prefer a richer flavor. For a lighter option, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
Instructions
Cooking is a dance of flavors and aromas, and this recipe is no different. Let’s dive into the steps to create this delightful dish:
- Bring a pot of water to boil and cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes.
- Add the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, stirring until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and stir to coat with the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the cooked ramen noodles to the skillet, tossing to combine with the sauce and chicken. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
- Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
