Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breast fillets (about 7 oz each), pounded to ½-inch thickness
  • 2 packages ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 tsp red chili flakes (optional)
  • ½ tsp paprika powder (smoked paprika preferred)
  • 1 tsp Italian herbs (or dried oregano + basil)
  • 3.5 oz sun-dried tomatoes, chopped small (oil-packed preferred)
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • 1.75 oz freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste (double-concentrated preferred)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prep the chicken: Season both sides of the chicken with salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian herbs. Pound each breast to ½-inch thickness for even cooking.
  2. Sear the chicken: Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. When hot, add chicken and sear for 5–6 minutes per side until done. Remove chicken, let rest, then set aside.
  3. Build the sauce: In the same skillet, lower heat and melt butter. Add minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes, and sauté for 1–2 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 30 seconds.
  4. Make it creamy: Gradually whisk in chicken broth, then heavy cream and honey until smooth.
  5. Add cheese and season: Whisk in grated Parmesan until the sauce thickens. Adjust seasoning with chili flakes, salt, and pepper.
  6. Finish cooking the chicken: Return the chicken to the skillet; reduce to low and simmer for 10–12 minutes.
  7. Cook the ramen: Cook the ramen in a separate pot according to package directions, then drain.
  8. Combine: Add cooked ramen to the skillet and toss to coat. Heat through for a minute.
  9. Serve: Garnish with torn fresh basil and extra Parmesan. Serve immediately.

Notes

Start cooking the noodles later to keep them fresh. Use reserved pasta water or broth if the sauce thickens too much.
