Instructions

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Coat the chicken evenly and let it sit for 15 minutes.
Cook the Chicken: Heat a pan over medium-high heat, add oil, and sear the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Let it rest before slicing.
Prepare the Creamy Garlic Sauce: In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream, stir, and let it thicken slightly. Set aside.
Cook the Ramen Noodles: Boil water in a pot and cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Make the Spicy Broth: In a pot, heat sesame oil and sauté minced garlic until aromatic. Add chicken broth, soy sauce, and heavy cream. Simmer for 5-7 minutes.
Assemble the Ramen Bowl: Divide the noodles into bowls. Pour the spicy broth over the noodles. Top with sliced chicken and drizzle with creamy garlic sauce.
Garnish & Serve: Sprinkle chopped green onions and a drizzle of chili oil for extra spice. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

For extra texture, add toppings like sesame seeds, soft-boiled eggs, or chili oil.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of broth or cream if needed.
Adjust the spice level to your preference by increasing or reducing the cayenne and chili powder.
