Description
Marry Me Chicken Ramen is a comforting and delicious dish featuring tender chicken, creamy broth, and flavorful ramen noodles, perfect for a cozy meal.
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 ounces ramen noodles
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic, thyme, oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using). Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Add the ramen noodles to the skillet and cook according to package instructions, usually about 3-4 minutes, until tender.
- Stir in the cherry tomatoes and baby spinach, cooking until the spinach wilts, about 2 minutes.
- Slice the cooked chicken and return it to the skillet, mixing everything together. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
- Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with coconut milk or a low-fat cream alternative.
- Add more vegetables such as bell peppers, carrots, or broccoli for added nutrition and color.
