Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Green onions for garnish

Fresh ingredients and noodles ready for preparation.

Directions

1. In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil.
2. Add the chicken breasts and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Once cooked, remove the chicken, shred it, and set aside.
3. In the same pot, add the ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually around 3-4 minutes.
4. In a separate pan, sauté the minced garlic in a bit of oil until fragrant—about 1 minute.
5. Add the heavy cream and soy sauce to the pan, stirring to combine.
6. Stir in the fresh vegetables and cook until they are tender, about 3-5 minutes.
7. Return the shredded chicken to the pot with noodles, pour in the garlic cream sauce, and stir well to combine all the flavors.
8. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting as needed.
9. Serve hot, garnished with green onions for an extra burst of flavor.

Tips & Variations

• Ingredient Substitutions: You can easily swap the chicken for tofu or shrimp for a different protein. Use vegetable broth for a vegetarian version.
• Optional Variations: Add a sprinkle of chili flakes for a spicy kick or top with a soft-boiled egg for added richness.
• Storage or Reheating Tips: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of broth or water to loosen the noodles.
