- Serve: Ladle the creamy garlic chicken ramen into bowls, garnish with chopped green onions, and serve hot.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding a soft-boiled egg or some steamed vegetables like spinach or mushrooms.
- Use low-sodium chicken broth if you want to control the salt levels.
- You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter version.
- Cook the chicken breasts ahead of time by poaching or baking for convenience.
- If you prefer a spicier dish, add a dash of chili flakes or sriracha.
