Ingredients

• 2 chicken breasts
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 3 cups ramen noodles
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup mixed vegetables (like carrots, bell peppers, and spinach)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Green onions for garnish

Fresh ingredients ready for a delicious ramen preparation.

Directions

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, typically 1-2 minutes—be careful not to burn it!
2. Add the chicken breasts to the pot and cook until they are browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes. Once done, remove from the pot and set aside.
3. In the same pot, pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a boil. Add the ramen noodles and mixed vegetables. Cook until the noodles are tender, about 3-4 minutes.
4. While the noodles are cooking, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
5. Stir in the heavy cream and the shredded chicken into the pot. Season with salt and pepper to taste; allow to heat through, about another minute or two.
6. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions for a fresh pop of flavor.

Tips & Variations

• Ingredient substitutions: You can use shredded rotisserie chicken instead of cooking chicken breasts for a quicker option. Swap heavy cream for half-and-half for a lighter version.
• Optional variations: Add spice with a splash of sriracha or chili flakes. For a vegetarian version, replace the chicken with tofu and use vegetable broth.
• Storage or reheating tips: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of water or broth if the noodles have soaked up too much liquid.
