Cooking Instructions

1.

Prepare the Chicken

First, we need to get our chicken ready. Take your two chicken breasts and pat them thoroughly dry with paper towels. This is a crucial step for achieving a beautiful sear. Season them generously on all sides with a pinch of flaky salt and ground pepper. Now, place the seasoned chicken breasts on a clean cutting board and coat them evenly with the 50g of all-purpose flour. Shake off any excess flour; we’re looking for a light dusting. This flour coating will help create a delicious crust when we sear the chicken, and it will also contribute to thickening our sauce later. Heat the 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully add the floured chicken breasts. Sear them for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and have developed a nice crust. The chicken doesn’t need to be cooked through at this stage; we’ll finish cooking it in the sauce. Remove the seared chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate. Don’t clean the skillet – all those delicious browned bits are flavor gold!

2.

Build the Flavor Base

In the same skillet where you seared the chicken, reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic cloves to the pan. Be careful not to let the garlic burn; we want to gently sauté it until it’s fragrant, which should take about 30 seconds to a minute. Next, add the sliced sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet. Give them a good stir, allowing them to soften and release their intense, sweet-tart flavor into the oil. Now, it’s time for our spices. Sprinkle in the smoked paprika, oregano, and chili flakes. Stir these spices into the garlic and tomatoes for about another minute, allowing their aromas to bloom. This step is key to infusing our sauce with that signature “Marry Me” depth. The heat will toast the spices, making them even more flavorful.

3.

Create the Creamy Sauce

Pour the 600ml of chicken stock into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. These bits are packed with flavor and will form the base of our delicious sauce. Bring the liquid to a simmer. Once simmering, gradually pour in the 300ml of single cream, stirring continuously to combine it with the chicken stock and flavor base. This is where the magic starts to happen, transforming the broth into a luscious, creamy sauce. As the sauce continues to gently simmer, add the 2 tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese. Stir until the parmesan is fully melted and incorporated into the sauce, adding a salty, cheesy richness. Don’t forget to add the 1/2 teaspoon of sugar at this stage; it helps to balance the acidity of the tomatoes and the richness of the cream, creating a perfectly harmonious flavor profile. Season the sauce with 1/2 teaspoon of flaky salt and 1/2 teaspoon of ground pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

4.

Finish the Chicken and Noodles

Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the creamy sauce. Lower the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the chicken simmer gently in the sauce for about 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender. The sauce will continue to thicken and the chicken will absorb all those wonderful flavors. While the chicken is simmering, bring a separate pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the 200g of ramen noodles and cook them according to the package instructions, usually about 3-5 minutes. You want them to be perfectly al dente, with a slight bite. Drain the ramen noodles well.

5.

Assemble and Serve

Once the chicken is cooked through and the noodles are ready, it’s time to assemble our Marry Me Chicken Ramen. Divide the cooked ramen noodles among serving bowls. Carefully place one of the tender chicken breasts on top of the noodles in each bowl. Generously ladle the rich, creamy sauce over the chicken and noodles, making sure to get plenty of the sun-dried tomatoes and fragrant bits. For an extra touch of indulgence, garnish with a little more grated parmesan cheese. You can also add some fresh parsley or a sprinkle of extra chili flakes if you like a bit more heat. Serve immediately and prepare to be wowed. This dish is a truly comforting and decadent meal that’s sure to become a favorite!

Frequently Asked Questions:

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

While the components can be prepped in advance (like cooking and shredding the chicken), it’s best to assemble and finish the ramen just before serving to ensure the noodles have the perfect texture and the broth is at its creamiest. Reheating the broth and then adding cooked noodles can lead to slightly softer noodles.

What if I don’t have heavy cream?

You can substitute the heavy cream with half-and-half for a slightly lighter, but still creamy, broth. For a dairy-free option, consider using full-fat coconut milk, though this will impart a subtle coconut flavor.
