Method

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Coat the chicken evenly with this spice mixture and let it marinate for 15 minutes.
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the marinated chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and let it rest before slicing.
In the same skillet, melt butter and add minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Boil water in a separate pot. Add ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions, about 3-4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In the skillet, heat sesame oil, add an extra minced garlic clove, and sauté. Pour in broth and soy sauce, stirring in heavy cream. Simmer for about 5 minutes.
Distribute cooked ramen noodles in bowls. Ladle the spicy broth over the noodles and top with sliced chicken.
Garnish with green onions and chili oil if desired. Serve immediately.
