Ingredients

  • Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs or Breasts
  • Instant Ramen Noodle Packets
  • Cream Cheese
  • Sriracha
  • Low-sodium Chicken Broth
  • Whole Milk
  • Fresh Garlic
  • Fresh Ginger
  • Low-sodium Soy Sauce
  • Toasted Sesame Oil
  • Green Onions
  • Toasted Sesame Seeds
  • Soft-Boiled Egg

Instructions

  1. First things first, slice your boneless, skinless chicken into thin strips or bite-sized cubes.
  2. Mince your garlic and grate your fresh ginger. Get all your other ingredients measured out and ready to go – it makes the cooking process so much smoother.
  3. Heat a large skillet or a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of cooking oil (like olive or canola oil).
  4. Once hot, add your chicken pieces in a single layer. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Remove the cooked chicken from the pan and set it aside on a plate. Don't worry about cleaning the pan; those browned bits add flavor!
  6. Reduce the heat to medium. Add a tiny bit more oil to the pan if needed.
  7. Add your minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan. Sauté for about 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
  8. Pour in the chicken broth, then add the cream cheese (cut into smaller pieces if it's a large block, so it melts faster).
  9. Add the Sriracha, soy sauce, and milk. Whisk everything together continuously until the cream cheese has melted completely and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  10. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Taste and adjust the Sriracha if you want more heat, or a tiny bit more soy sauce for saltiness.
  11. Once the sauce is simmering, add your ramen noodles directly into the pan. Break them up if they're in block form.
  12. Cook the noodles according to their package directions, usually 2-3 minutes for instant ramen, stirring occasionally to ensure they're fully submerged and don't stick together.
  13. Return the cooked chicken to the pan with the noodles and sauce. Stir gently to combine everything and heat the chicken through for about 1 minute.
  14. Ladle the Creamy Sriracha Chicken Ramen into warm bowls.
  15. Finish with your desired toppings: a sprinkle of sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and a perfectly jammy soft-boiled egg if you're feeling fancy! Enjoy immediately.

Keywords: Sriracha levels are personal! Always start with the recommended amount, then taste the sauce before adding the noodles. If you love a serious kick, feel free to add an extra swirl. If you prefer it milder, you can always dilute a bit with more broth or milk.
