Cooking Instructions:

Let’s get cooking! This recipe is designed to be straightforward, allowing the amazing flavours to develop beautifully.

1. Prepare the Chicken
First, we need to prepare our chicken. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps create a better sear. Season them generously with a pinch of salt and pepper. Then, in a shallow dish, place the 50g of all-purpose flour. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, ensuring it’s evenly coated. This flour coating will help create a lovely, slightly crisp exterior on the chicken and will also thicken our sauce later on. Once coated, set the chicken aside.

2. Sear the Chicken and Sauté Aromatics
Heat the 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the floured chicken breasts into the hot oil. Sear the chicken for about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and a beautiful crust has formed. Don’t worry if the chicken isn’t cooked through at this stage; we’ll finish cooking it in the sauce. Remove the seared chicken from the pot and set it aside on a plate. Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the pot. Sauté the garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it. Next, add the sliced sun-dried tomatoes, smoked paprika, oregano, and chilli flakes to the pot. Stir and cook for another minute, allowing the spices to bloom and release their aromatic oils. This step is crucial for building layers of flavour.

3. Create the Creamy Broth
Pour in the 600ml of chicken stock and scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits left from searing the chicken and sautéing the aromatics. These bits are packed with flavour! Bring the mixture to a simmer. Once simmering, stir in the 300ml of single cream, 2 tbsp of grated parmesan cheese, 1/2 tsp of ground pepper, 1/2 tsp of flaky salt, and 1/2 tsp of sugar. The sugar helps to balance the acidity from the sun-dried tomatoes and the richness of the cream. Stir continuously until the parmesan cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth and well combined. The sauce should start to thicken slightly.

4. Simmer and Finish the Chicken
Return the seared chicken breasts to the pot, nestling them into the creamy sauce. Make sure they are mostly submerged. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the chicken simmer gently for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 74°C (165°F). Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pot and let it rest on a cutting board for a few minutes before slicing. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring the chicken stays moist and succulent.

5. Cook the Ramen Noodles and Assemble
While the chicken is resting, it’s time to cook the ramen noodles. Bring a separate pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the 200g of ramen noodles and cook according to the package instructions. Typically, this is just a few minutes until al dente. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can become mushy. Once the noodles are cooked, drain them well. You can either divide the noodles among your serving bowls and ladle the sauce over them, or you can add the drained noodles directly to the pot with the sauce and toss to combine. I prefer to add the noodles to the sauce for maximum flavour absorption. Slice the rested chicken breasts and arrange them on top of the ramen noodles in your bowls. Garnish with extra grated parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of chilli flakes if you like a little extra heat. Serve immediately and enjoy this incredibly comforting and flavourful bowl of “Marry Me Chicken Ramen”!

For serving, I highly recommend topping your ramen with fresh scallions, a drizzle of chili oil for a little kick, and a perfectly jammy soft-boiled egg. For variations, feel free to experiment! You could swap the chicken thighs for chicken breast, or even add some sautéed mushrooms or spinach for extra texture and flavor. Don’t be afraid to adjust the spice level to your preference. This recipe is incredibly forgiving and adaptable to your tastes.

Frequently Asked Questions:

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

While the Marry Me chicken sauce can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator, I recommend assembling the ramen just before serving for the best texture. The noodles can become mushy if left in the broth for too long.

What kind of noodles are best for this recipe?

Fresh ramen noodles are ideal for their chewy texture, but good quality dried ramen noodles will also work wonderfully. If you can’t find ramen noodles, udon noodles are a decent substitute, though they will offer a slightly different mouthfeel.

Is this recipe very spicy?

The base Marry Me chicken sauce has a mild creamy heat. However, I’ve included optional ingredients like red pepper flakes and chili oil for you to adjust the spice level to your liking. You can easily make it as mild or as fiery as you desire.
