  • Cooking Instructions:

    Let’s dive into creating this dreamy ramen. The key to this dish is building layers of flavor, so don’t rush any of the steps.

    Preparing the Chicken

    First, we need to get our chicken ready. Pat your chicken breasts completely dry with paper towels. This is a crucial step for achieving a good sear. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper. In a shallow dish or on a plate, add the 50g of all-purpose flour and season it with a pinch of salt and pepper. Dredge each chicken breast in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess. This flour coating will not only help brown the chicken beautifully but also thicken our sauce later. Heat the 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully place the floured chicken breasts into the hot oil. Sear for about 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside on a clean plate. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring tender and moist chicken.

    Building the Creamy Sauce Base

    Now, we’re going to create that irresistible “Marry Me” sauce. Reduce the heat of the pan to medium. If there’s excess oil, you can carefully pour some of it out, leaving about a tablespoon. Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it. Next, stir in the sliced sun-dried tomatoes, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon chilli flakes. Cook for another minute, stirring constantly, allowing the spices to bloom and release their aromas into the pan. This step is essential for unlocking the full flavor potential of the spices. The sun-dried tomatoes will soften and release some of their sweet, tangy flavor, which is a hallmark of this dish.

    Creating the Silky Sauce

    It’s time to bring the sauce together. Gradually pour in the 600ml of chicken stock, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. These bits are pure flavor gold! Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it bubble for about 3-5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to reduce slightly. Once it has reduced a little, stir in the 300ml of single cream. Continue to cook over medium-low heat, stirring gently, until the sauce has thickened to a lovely, creamy consistency. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes. You want it thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, but not so thick that it becomes heavy. Stir in the 2 tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese, 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper, 1/2 teaspoon flaky salt, and 1/2 teaspoon sugar. Continue stirring until the parmesan is fully melted and incorporated into the sauce, creating a smooth and velvety texture. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed – a little more salt or pepper can make all the difference. The sugar helps to balance the acidity from the tomatoes and the richness of the cream.

    Cooking the Ramen Noodles

    While the sauce is simmering and thickening, it’s time to cook your ramen noodles. Bring a separate pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the 200g of ramen noodles and cook according to package directions. Typically, ramen noodles only take 3-5 minutes to cook. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can become mushy. We want them perfectly al dente so they have a nice bite when mixed with the sauce. Once cooked, drain the noodles thoroughly in a colander. It’s important to drain them well to avoid diluting the creamy sauce with excess water.

    Assembling Your Marry Me Chicken Ramen

    Now for the grand finnon-alcoholic ale! Slice your rested chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Add the drained ramen noodles directly into the pan with the creamy Marry Me sauce. Toss gently to coat every strand of noodle in the luscious sauce. Then, add the sliced cooked chicken to the pan and stir to combine, ensuring the chicken is coated in the sauce as well. Let it simmer for another minute or two, just to heat the chicken through and allow it to absorb some of the sauce. Serve immediately in shallow bowls. Garnish with extra grated parmesan cheese, a sprinkle of fresh parsley (if you have some on hand, though not essential), and perhaps a few extra chilli flakes if you like it spicier. This Marry Me Chicken Ramen is a hug in a bowl, perfect for a cozy night in or when you want to impress someone special. Enjoy every decadent bite!

    What kind of noodles are best for this recipe?

    Fresh ramen noodles will give you the most authentic texture and springin extractess. If fresh aren’t available, good quality dried ramen noodles will work beautifully. Avoid instant noodle packets as they often have a different texture and flavor profile.
