Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 packs Instant ramen noodles
- 1 cup Cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
- 1 clove Garlic clove (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 1.5 cups Chicken broth
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 stalks Green onions (sliced)
- 1 packet Optional seasoning packet from ramen
Instructions
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions (about 3 minutes). Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the cream cheese to the skillet, stirring constantly until it softens and begins to melt.
Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, whisking to combine with the cream cheese until smooth.
Add the soy sauce, salt, black pepper, and the optional ramen seasoning packet (if using). Stir well to incorporate.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cooked chicken. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the chicken to heat through.
Add the cooked ramen noodles to the skillet, tossing gently to coat them evenly in the creamy sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if needed.
Divide the creamy chicken ramen between two bowls. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately.
