Cooking Instructions:

Let’s get started on this incredibly delicious journey. We’ll be building layers of flavor, so don’t rush any of the steps. The aroma alone will be worth it!

Preparing the Chicken

1. First things first, let’s get our chicken ready. Take your two chicken breasts and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels. This is a crucial step for achieving a beautiful sear. Cut each chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch cubes. In a medium bowl, toss the chicken pieces with the 50g of all-purpose flour, a good pinch of salt, and a generous grind of black pepper. Make sure each piece is evenly coated. This flour coating will not only help to brown the chicken beautifully but will also contribute to thickening our luscious ramen broth later on.

Searing and Building the Flavor Base

2. Heat the 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully add the floured chicken pieces in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan; if necessary, cook the chicken in batches to ensure it browns properly and doesn’t steam. Sear the chicken for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and mostly cooked through. The flour coating should create a lovely crust. Once browned, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate. Don’t worry if it’s not fully cooked; it will finish cooking in the sauce.

3. Now, lower the heat to medium. In the same skillet, add the 3 minced garlic cloves. Stir them around for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn them. Then, add the 8 sliced sun-dried tomatoes, 1/2 tbsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tbsp oregano, and 1/2 tbsp chilli flakes. Stir everything together and cook for another minute or two, allowing the spices to bloom and release their aromas. The sun-dried tomatoes will soften and their sweetness will start to infuse into the oil. This is where the “Marry Me” magic really begin extracts to build.

Creating the Creamy Broth

4. Pour in the 600ml of chicken stock into the skillet. Scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to deglaze, lifting all those delicious browned bits from the chicken and spices. Bring the stock to a simmer. Once simmering, slowly whisk in the 300ml of single cream until well combined. Let this creamy mixture simmer gently for about 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning with 1/2 tsp flaky salt, 1/2 tsp ground pepper, and a crucial 1/2 tsp sugar. The sugar helps to balance the acidity of the tomatoes and the richness of the cream, making the flavors sing. Stir in the 2 tbsp of grated parmesan cheese until it’s melted and incorporated into the sauce, adding another layer of savory deliciousness.

Bringin extractg It All Together

5. Return the seared chicken pieces (and any accumulated juices from the plate) to the skillet with the creamy sauce. Stir to coat the chicken. Let it simmer gently for another 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender. While the chicken is finishing, bring a separate pot of water to a rolling boil and cook the 200g of ramen noodles according to package directions. Usually, this is just a few minutes. Drain the noodles well.

To serve, divide the cooked ramen noodles among deep bowls. Ladle the rich, creamy Marry Me Chicken Ramen sauce over the noodles, making sure to get plenty of chicken and sun-dried tomatoes in each bowl. Garnish with extra grated parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of fresh parsley if you have some on hand. Prepare yourself for an incredibly satisfying meal that’s rich, comforting, and bursting with flavor. Enjoy every decadent bite!

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

While you can prepare some components like cooking the chicken and making the sauce ahead of time, it’s best to assemble and cook the ramen noodles just before serving for optimal texture. Reheating the sauce and chicken is fine, but combining it with freshly cooked noodles will give you the best experience.

What kind of chicken is best for this ramen?

Boneless, skinless chicken thighs are our top recommendation. They stay incredibly tender and juicy in the rich sauce. However, chicken breast will also work, just be careful not to overcook it to prevent it from becoming dry.

Is this recipe spicy?

The base recipe isn’t inherently spicy, but the creaminess of the “Marry Me” sauce balances the savory elements beautifully. You can easily add spice by incorporating red pepper flakes into the sauce while cooking or by serving with sriracha or chili garlic sauce on the side. This allows everyone to customize their heat level!
