  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Cream Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil

For the Ramen:

  • 4 packs of ramen noodles (discard the seasoning packet)
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken:

  1. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Cook for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Make the Cream Sauce:

  1. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  2. Add the Liquids: Pour in the heavy cream, chicken broth, and soy sauce. Stir to combine.
  3. Season the Sauce: Add the oregano, basil, paprika, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Stir to combine and let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes, thickening slightly.
  4. Finish the Sauce: Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Cook the Ramen:

  1. Boil the Noodles: In a separate pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually 3-4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. Flavor the Noodles: Toss the noodles with sesame oil, if desired, for added flavor.

Combine and Serve:

  1. Slice the Chicken: Slice the cooked chicken into strips and return to the skillet with the sauce.
  2. Mix Everything Together: Add the cooked ramen noodles to the skillet and toss everything together, ensuring the noodles and chicken are coated in the creamy sauce.
  3. Serve: Plate the Marry Me Chicken Ramen and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.
