Ingredients
  

For the Spicy Chicken

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil

For the Creamy Garlic Sauce

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cups heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter version)
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for extra heat)
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

For the Ramen Bowl

  • 2 packs ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • ½ cup sliced green onions
  • ½ cup shredded carrots (optional, for crunch)
  • 1 soft-boiled egg, halved
  • Sesame seeds & nori strips, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Marinate & Cook the Chicken
    In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, smoked paprika, chili powder, cayenne, and black pepper. Add sliced chicken and toss until fully coated. Let it rest for about 10 minutes while you prep the sauce.
    Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and sauté for 5–6 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce
    In a saucepan, melt butter and sauté garlic for 30 seconds — just until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, whisking gently. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes, then stir in Parmesan until smooth and creamy. Remove from heat.
  • Cook the Ramen
    Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the noodles according to package directions. Drain, toss with sesame oil to prevent sticking, and divide between two serving bowls.
  • Assemble the Bowls
    Spoon the creamy garlic sauce over the noodles. Top with the fiery chicken, green onions, shredded carrots, and half a soft-boiled egg. Sprinkle sesame seeds and nori strips for a finishing touch.
    Serve immediately — preferably with your favorite playlist humming in the background.
