Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Fiery Chicken Ramen
  1. Begin by boiling water in a large pot. Once it reaches a rolling boil, add the fresh ramen noodles and cook them according to the package instructions until al dente, usually about 3-4 minutes. Drain the noodles and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process.
  2. While the noodles are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breast with cayenne pepper and chili powder. Sauté the chicken for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally until it’s fully cooked.
  3. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add minced fresh garlic. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Next, pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously. Allow the sauce to simmer for around 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  4. Once the sauce has thickened, toss in the cooked ramen noodles and sliced chicken. Use tongs to gently mix everything together, ensuring it is well coated.
  5. Ladle the Fiery Chicken Ramen into bowls. For an extra burst of flavor, squeeze fresh lime juice over each serving.
