Print Recipe

A comforting and easy homemade dinner featuring tender chicken, creamy broth, and slurpy ramen noodles that come together in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs for extra juiciness)
  • 2 servings fresh or dried ramen noodles
  • 4 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • ½ cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms (shiitake or cremini)
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tablespoon miso paste
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Chili flakes or sriracha (optional)
  • Soft-boiled egg halves (for garnish)
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Mince garlic and grate ginger to prepare aromatics.
  2. Heat butter in a large pot over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Sear chicken 4-5 minutes per side until golden but not fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pot, sauté garlic, ginger, and mushrooms for 3-4 minutes until fragrant and softened.
  4. Add chicken broth, soy sauce, and miso paste to the pot. Whisk until miso dissolves.
  5. Return chicken to the pot. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 15 minutes until chicken is cooked through (internal temp 165°F).
  6. Cook ramen noodles separately according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  7. Remove chicken from broth and shred with two forks. Return shredded chicken to the pot.
  8. Stir in heavy cream and sliced green onions. Heat through gently without boiling.
  9. Divide cooked noodles into bowls. Ladle creamy chicken broth and chicken over noodles.
  10. Garnish with soft-boiled egg halves, sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro or parsley. Add chili flakes or sriracha if desired.

Notes

Do not rush the chicken simmering step to keep it tender. Cook noodles separately to avoid sogginess. Stir cream in at low heat to prevent curdling. Garnishes like soft-boiled eggs and sesame seeds add texture and flavor. For gluten-free, use tamari and gluten-free noodles. Adjust seasoning with extra soy sauce or salt if needed. Add sriracha or chili flakes for spice.
