Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a splash of oil and the chicken thighs, cooking for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set it aside.
  2. In a separate pot, bring water to a rolling boil. Add the fresh ramen noodles and cook them according to the package instructions, usually about 3-4 minutes. Drain them and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and add cayenne pepper and chili powder to taste. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the drained ramen noodles to the creamy garlic sauce in the skillet, tossing gently. Slice the cooked chicken thighs and add them among the noodles.
  5. Plate your Fiery Chicken Ramen while it’s steaming hot. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Serve immediately.
