Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 50g all purpose flour
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 8 sun-dried tomatoes, sliced
  • ½ tablespoon smoked paprika
  • ½ tablespoon oregano
  • ½ tablespoon chili flakes
  • 600ml chicken stock
  • 300ml single cream
  • 2 tablespoon grated parmesan plus extra for garnish
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper
  • ½ teaspoon flaky salt
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • 200g ramen noodles

Toppings

  • Coriander
  • Beansprouts
  • Edamame beans
  • Spring onion
  • Chili oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Pour the all purpose flour onto a plate. Coat each chicken breast evenly in the flour. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Fry the chicken breasts for about 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove the chicken breasts from the pan and set aside.
  2. Make the Sauce: In the same saucepan, add the minced garlic, sliced sun-dried tomatoes, smoked paprika, chili flakes, and oregano. Fry these ingredients for a couple of minutes until fragrant. Then add 300ml chicken stock and the single cream to the pan. Stir to combine, then grate in the parmesan cheese and mix through.
  3. Simmer the Chicken in Sauce: Return the chicken breasts to the saucepan, cover with a lid, and cook on low heat for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the chicken to finish cooking. After 5 minutes, remove the chicken breasts again and set them aside to slice.
  4. Season the Broth and Cook Noodles: Season the creamy broth with flaky salt, ground pepper, and ½ teaspoon sugar. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add the remaining 300ml of chicken stock to the saucepan and bring to a simmer. Add the ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  5. Assemble and Serve: Once the noodles are cooked, divide them and the broth into two bowls. Slice the chicken breasts and arrange the slices on top. Garnish with fresh coriander, beansprouts, edamame beans, spring onions, and a drizzle of chili oil. Add extra grated parmesan if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Make sure not to overcrowd the pan when frying the chicken to ensure a golden crust.
  • If fresh coriander or edamame is unavailable, you can substitute with parsley and frozen shelled edamame beans respectively.
  • Adjust the chili flakes and chili oil to control the level of heat according to your preference.
  • This recipe works well with other noodle types like udon or soba if ramen noodles are unavailable.
  • For a lighter version, substitute single cream with half-and-half or a lighter cream alternative.
