Ingredients
Ramen
- 2 packs OTOKI Cheddar & Mascarpone Cheesy Ramen
Chicken
- 2 chicken breasts (butterflied)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- Salt & pepper, to taste
Sauce & Garnish
- 2 tbsp butter (divided)
- 3 garlic cloves (minced)
- ¼ – ⅓ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Season the chicken: Season both sides of the butterflied chicken breasts evenly with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to build flavor.
- Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and sear for 4–5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from pan and slice into strips.
- Cook the ramen noodles: Boil noodles according to package instructions, about 2 minutes, until just tender. Drain, reserving about ¼ cup of the cooking water for later use.
- Build the sauce: In the same pan used for chicken, melt the remaining 1 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
- Combine ingredients: Pour in the heavy cream, then add the seasoning packets from the ramen and stir until smoothly combined.
- Toss noodles with sauce: Add the drained noodles back to the pan along with a splash of the reserved cooking water. Toss everything together until the sauce becomes glossy and coats the noodles evenly.
- Finish and serve: Stir in freshly grated Parmesan cheese until melted and combined. Top the creamy noodles with sliced chicken and garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Butterflying the chicken breasts ensures even cooking and quicker cook time.
- Reserving the ramen cooking water helps loosen the sauce and intensify flavor.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for best melt and flavor.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more salt or pepper as needed.
- Optional parsley garnish adds freshness and color.
