Ingredients
Scale
- 1 chicken breast (cut lengthwise into two)
- Cajun seasoning (enough to cover)
- Salt & pepper
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp chili sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- Whites of a green onion (chopped)
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 ramen packs (with seasoning packets)
- Soft boiled egg (for garnish)
- Green onion greens (for garnish)
- Crispy onions (for garnish)
- Chili oil (for garnish)
Instructions
- Season the Chicken: Begin by seasoning your chicken breast with generous amounts of Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Sauté the Chicken: In a large pot, heat a bit of oil over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- Create the Flavor Base: In the same pot, add the minced garlic and whites of the green onion. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Combine Sauces and Broth: Pour in the chicken broth, soy sauce, chili sauce, and honey, stirring well to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Thicken the Broth: Once simmering, add the heavy cream. Stir well and let it simmer for another 5-7 minutes.
- Cook the Ramen: Add the ramen packs along with their seasoning packets and cook according to package instructions, usually about 3-4 minutes.
- Shred the Chicken: While the noodles are cooking, shred your chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- Final Assembly: Once the noodles are cooked, return the shredded chicken to the pot. Give everything a final stir and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Plate with Style: Serve the ramen in bowls, topping with a soft boiled egg, green onion greens, crispy onions, and a drizzle of chili oil.
Notes
Pairs beautifully with steamed dumplings or a simple green salad. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
