Cooking Instructions

Let’s get cooking! This recipe is designed to be straightforward and rewarding.

Step 1: Prepare and Sear the Chicken

First, we need to get our chicken ready. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This is a crucial step for getting a good sear. Season both sides generously with about half of the flaky salt and ground pepper. Now, we’ll prepare our dredge. In a shallow dish or plate, mix the 50g of all-purpose flour with the remaining half of the salt and pepper. Dredge each chicken breast in the seasoned flour, ensuring it’s coated evenly. Shake off any excess flour. Heat the 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering (but not smoking), carefully place the floured chicken breasts into the pan. Sear for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The flour coating will help create a beautiful crust. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside on a clean plate or cutting board. You can tent it loosely with foil to keep it warm while we make the sauce.

Step 2: Build the Flavor Base

In the same skillet you used for the chicken (don’t wipe it out – those browned bits are flavor!), reduce the heat to medium. Add the 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn them. Next, 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, allowing the spices to bloom and the sun-dried tomatoes to soften slightly. This step is all about building a really aromatic and flavorful foundation for our creamy sauce. The sun-dried tomatoes will release their intense, sweet-tart flavor, and the spices will infuse the oil beautifully.

Step 3: Create the Creamy Sauce

Now it’s time for the magic to happen! Pour in the 600ml of chicken stock into the skillet. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan – this is where a lot of the delicious chicken flavor is hiding! Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 3-4 minutes, allowing it to reduce slightly. Next, pour in the 300ml of single cream. Stir well to combine it with the chicken stock and spices. Let this mixture gently simmer, stirring occasionally, until it begin extracts to thicken. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes. You’re looking for a luscious, creamy consistency that will coat the back of your spoon.

Step 4: Finish and Assemble

Once the sauce has thickened to your liking, stir in the 2 tbsp of grated parmesan cheese until it’s fully melted and incorporated into the sauce. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed, adding the 1/2 tsp sugar to balance out the flavors if it tastes a little too acidic from the tomatoes. Stir in the remaining 1/2 tsp ground pepper and 1/2 tsp flaky salt. Now, let’s get those ramen noodles ready. Cook the 200g of ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Typically, this involves boiling them in water for a few minutes until they are al dente. Drain the noodles thoroughly.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!

Slice the cooked chicken breasts into thick, bite-sized pieces. Divide the cooked ramen noodles into your serving bowls. Ladle the generous amount of creamy Marry Me sauce over the noodles. Top each bowl with the sliced chicken. For an extra touch of decadence and that authentic Marry Me Chicken look, sprinkle with a little extra grated parmesan cheese and perhaps a few more chilli flakes if you like a bit of a kick. Serve immediately and prepare to be amazed. The creamy, savory sauce combined with the chewy ramen noodles and tender chicken is truly a match made in culinary heaven. This dish is incredibly satisfying and a wonderful way to elevate your ramen game. Enjoy every delicious bite!

For serving, I love to top this Marry Me Chicken Ramen with a sprinkle of fresh scallions for a bit of bite, some toasted sesame seeds for added crunch, and maybe even a drizzle of chili oil for an extra kick.

Don’t be afraid to experiment with variations! Feel free to swap the chicken thighs for chicken breast, or even try shrimp or firm tofu for a vegetarian twist.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I make this Marry Me Chicken Ramen ahead of time?

While the chicken itself can be cooked and reheated, the ramen noodles are best cooked fresh just before serving to avoid them becoming mushy. The sauce can be made ahead and gently reheated before combining with the noodles and chicken.

What kind of ramen noodles are best for this recipe?

Fresh or good quality dried ramen noodles work wonderfully. Avoid instant ramen noodle packets as they can be overly salty and have a different texture. Look for noodles specifically labeled for ramen for the best experience.

Is this recipe very spicy?

The base recipe is not typically spicy. However, you can easily adjust the heat level by adding red pepper flakes to the sauce or serving with chili oil on the side. The creaminess of the sauce also helps to temper any spice.
