Instructions

Toss the sliced chicken with soy sauce, chili powder, cayenne pepper, and 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil. Let marinate for 15 minutes.
Heat a pan over medium-high heat and cook the marinated chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked. Set aside.
In a pot, combine chicken broth, gochujang (or sriracha), soy sauce, and remaining sesame oil. Simmer for 5 minutes to blend flavors.
In a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan, cooking until slightly thickened.
Boil ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and discard seasoning packets.
Add cooked noodles directly into the spicy broth and stir gently.
Divide noodles and broth into bowls. Top with cooked chicken, drizzle with creamy garlic sauce, and add desired toppings before serving.

Notes

Swap chicken breasts for boneless chicken thighs for extra juiciness.

Use coconut milk instead of heavy cream and omit Parmesan for a dairy-free option.

Add vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or bok choy to the simmering broth for extra nutrition.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, preferably keeping noodles and broth separate.

Reheat broth on the stove and add noodles just until warmed through, adding extra broth or water if needed.
