Instructions
Preparation
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a light dusting of flour.
- Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat and add the chicken. Sear each side until golden brown for about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the chicken and set it aside.
Cooking
- In the same pan, add minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes, sautéing them until fragrant.
- Sprinkle in the smoked paprika, oregano, and red chili flakes, letting the aromas mix.
- Pour in the chicken stock and return the chicken to the pan, allowing it to simmer for about 15 minutes.
- Once the chicken is fully cooked, stir in the single cream and grated parmesan cheese, bringing everything to a gentle simmer.
- Meanwhile, cook ramen noodles according to package instructions. Once al dente, drain and add to the creamy sauce, tossing to coat.
- Finish with ground black pepper, flaky salt, and sugar for balance.
Serving
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro, bean sprouts, edamame beans, and sliced scallions.
- Drizzle with chili oil for an extra kick.
Notes
For better flavor, marinate the chicken in olive oil, garlic, and herbs for an hour before cooking. Substitute single cream for lighter options if desired. Experiment with different veggies for added nutrients. For a thicker sauce, simmer longer.
