Instructions

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the sliced chicken thighs with soy sauce, chili paste, and garlic powder. Mix well and let it marinate for 10 to 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Sauté the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until it is browned and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Prepare the Broth: In a soup pot, bring the chicken broth and minced garlic to a gentle simmer. Stir in the heavy cream or coconut milk until fully incorporated, creating a rich and creamy base.
Cook the Ramen Noodles: Add the ramen noodles to the simmering broth and cook according to the package instructions, usually 3-4 minutes, until they are tender.
Combine Chicken and Noodles: Return the cooked chicken to the pot with noodles and broth. Stir to combine and heat through.
Serve and Garnish: Ladle the ramen into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and optional boiled eggs. Serve immediately while hot for the best flavor.

Notes

You can substitute coconut milk for heavy cream for a dairy-free version.
Adjust the amount of chili paste according to your preferred spice level.
Use chicken breast if you prefer a leaner protein, but thighs provide more flavor and tenderness.
The ramen seasoning packets are discarded to control sodium and flavor.
Boiled eggs can be soft or hard-cooked depending on preference.
