INGREDIENTS: SAUCE
- 1 package of Chicken Flavor Ramen – with the seasoning packet
- 2 TBSP of butter
- 1/2 cup of Heavy Cream
- 3/4 cup of Unsalted Chicken broth (or stock)
- 1 TBSP of flour
- 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 2 egg yolks
INGREDIENTS: CHICKEN
- 1 Chicken Breast
- 2 TBSP of butter
- 1/2 tsp Thyme
- 1/2 tsp Rosemary
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
- 1/2 tsp salt and pepper
- 2 green onions (Garnish)
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS: CHICKEN
Turn on the stove to medium high. For me, that’s around a 4 or 5. You want it hot enough to cook the chicken on both sides until it gets a nice grilled texture, then reduce the heat to finish cooking. This ensures the chicken breast retains its juiciness and stays moist.
While the stove is heating up, clean, pat and dry both sides of the chicken breast with a paper towel.
Put the butter into the pan so it melts.
Combine spice ingredients in a bowl and put it on the chicken on both sides.
Once the stove has reached medium high heat and the chicken has all the spices rubbed on it on both sides, put the chicken into the pan. Hard sear the chicken on each side for about 5 minutes, then reduce the heat and cover with a lid to finish the cooking. The total time is around 8-10 minutes depending on the thickness of the chicken breast. The internal temperature of the chicken should be at least 165°F. Once fully cooked, take the chicken out and let it rest on a plate while you prepare the sauce.
Note: You can also fry the chicken breast.
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS: SAUCE
Put the burner on a low-medium setting. For me that’s about a 2. Melt the butter in the pan. Once the butter is melted, add the seasoning packet from the Ramen to the pan. Stir the seasoning into the butter. Stir in the onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper to the butter seasoning mixture (see picture 1). Once all of the seasonings are mixed together, add the flour. You should have a thick paste like substance remaining in the pan. Make sure it’s mixed well so that all of the flour has been combined into the butter and seasoning. Make sure and continue to stir otherwise the butter and seasonings will burn.
Slowly add the chicken broth to the mixture until the mixture and the broth have combined smoothly into a thick sauce (see picture 2). Stir in the heavy cream and turn the burner up to a mid-high range. Keep stirring until it’s all combined and has a sauce thickness (See picture 3). If the sauce is too thin, add more heavy cream or chicken broth 1 tablespoon at a time until it has the desired thickness.
Once the sauce is at the correct thickness, turn the burner to the lowest setting without turning it off.
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS: NOODLES
Cook the noodles following the instructions on the packet or try my method for a quicker and more efficient way. First, break up the Ramen noodles and put them in a Wareland Soup Bowl. These cups are versatile and can be used in the microwave, oven, or freezer. They are also affordable and come with a lid (Yay Bonus!), which is just like pockets in a dress (ladies you know what I mean).
Next, boil water using a teapot like the Cuisinart Electric Kettle, which boils water very quickly, around 3 minutes or less. Be cautious as the water can be hot! You can start boiling the water while preparing the sauce. Once the water is boiled, pour it into the cup with the noodles, cover with the lid, and let it sit for 5 minutes. Then, strain out the water. The noodles should be cooked perfectly al dente, allowing them to absorb more sauce and enhance their flavor.

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS: COMBINING
Take the cooked noodles and put them into your saucepan. Mix well so that all of the sauce and noodles combine (see picture 1 and 2). TURN OFF THE BURNER. We want to turn off the burner so that when we combine the yolks to the sauce and noodles, the yolk will cook but not scramble. Grab two eggs and separate the yolks from the whites. If you crack the egg and put the egg into your palm, the whites will strain through your fingers into the bowl (see picture 3). Put the egg yolks into the pan (picture 4).
ENJOY YOUR RAMEN PASTA RECIPE!
Stir the yolks into the noodles and sauce. The heat from the noodles and sauce will cook the yolk but won’t scramble them. Take noodles and sauce out and put them into your dish. Slice the chicken breast and garnish the whole dish with green onions. I hope you enjoy this pasta recipe.
