A warm and creamy bowl of ramen inspired by the viral Marry Me Chicken, combining tender chicken, rich broth, and quick-cooking noodles for a comforting weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 to 1¼ lb total)
  • 4 cups chicken broth (low-sodium preferred)
  • 2 packs ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced (about 2–3 cloves)
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced (or 1½ teaspoons ground ginger)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Green onions for garnish, thinly sliced
  • Optional toppings: sweet corn, baby spinach, soft-boiled egg, sliced mushrooms, chili oil, sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts lightly with salt and pepper. Heat a medium pot over medium heat with a tablespoon of oil. Add chicken and cook until no longer pink in the center, about 6–7 minutes per side. Remove chicken to a plate and let rest 5 minutes, then shred with two forks.
  2. Reduce heat to medium-low in the same pot and add the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil. Scrape the bottom of the pot to release browned bits for extra flavor.
  4. Add the ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions, typically 3–4 minutes, until tender. If your noodles clump, stir gently to separate.
  5. Lower heat to medium and stir in the heavy cream and soy sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Heat through but avoid a rolling boil.
  6. Return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir to warm and combine. Let simmer together 1–2 minutes so flavors meld.
  7. Serve immediately in bowls topped with sliced green onions and your choice of toppings.

Notes

For a lighter result, swap heavy cream for half-and-half. For a dairy-free version, use full-fat coconut milk. Adjust seasoning last because soy sauce adds salt.
