Ingredients
Chicken and Sauce
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 chicken breasts
- 50g all purpose flour
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 8 sun-dried tomatoes, sliced
- ½ tablespoon smoked paprika
- ½ tablespoon oregano
- ½ tablespoon chilli flakes
- 600ml chicken stock (divided into 2 x 300ml)
- 300ml single cream
- 2 tablespoon grated parmesan, plus extra for garnish
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
- ½ teaspoon flaky salt
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- 200g ramen noodles
Toppings
- Coriander
- Beansprouts
- Edamame beans
- Spring onion
- Chilli oil
Instructions
- Coat and Fry Chicken: Pour the all-purpose flour onto a plate. Coat the chicken breasts in the flour evenly. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Fry the chicken breasts for 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
- Prepare the Sauce: In the same saucepan, add minced garlic, sliced sun-dried tomatoes, smoked paprika, chilli flakes, and oregano. Sauté for a couple of minutes until fragrant. Then pour in 300ml of chicken stock and the single cream, stirring to combine. Grate in the parmesan cheese and mix well.
- Simmer Chicken in Sauce: Return the chicken breasts to the saucepan, cover with a lid, and cook for 5 minutes on medium-low heat to absorb flavors and fully cook the chicken. Remove the chicken breasts again and set aside to slice.
- Season and Cook Noodles: Season the broth with flaky salt, ground pepper, and ½ teaspoon sugar to taste. Add the remaining 300ml chicken stock and bring to a gentle boil. Add ramen noodles to the broth and cook according to packet instructions, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
- Assemble the Dish: Once noodles are cooked, ladle the broth and noodles into two serving bowls. Slice the chicken breasts and arrange on top. Garnish with coriander, beansprouts, edamame beans, spring onions, and a drizzle of chilli oil for extra flavor and texture.
