Equipment

  • Pan

Method
 

  1. Mince the garlic, slice the green onion, and separate the white parts from the green parts. Slice the chicken breast in half to create two cutlets. Season the chicken well with cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat some oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for a few minutes on each side until it is cooked through and golden brown. In the last minute of cooking, reduce the heat to low. Add the soy sauce, chili sauce, and honey to create a glaze. Mix to coat the chicken and then remove it from the pan.
  3. In the same pan, add the minced garlic and the white parts of the green onion. Cook for a couple of minutes. Add the chicken broth, heavy cream, and the seasoning packets. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning if needed.
  4. Boil the ramen noodles in a separate pot following the package directions.
  5. Serve your ramen in a large bowl. Add the broth, noodles, sliced chicken, and any desired toppings.
