Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for lighter version)
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (oil-packed preferred)
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 2 packs ramen noodles (about 6 oz, discard seasoning packets)
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • Fresh parsley or basil, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper on both sides. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 165°F). Remove chicken to a plate and cover loosely with foil.
  3. In the same skillet, lower heat to medium. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in tomato paste and chopped sun-dried tomatoes, cooking another minute. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. Whisk in heavy cream, dried basil, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Slowly add grated parmesan, stirring constantly so it melts smoothly. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until broth is creamy and slightly thickened. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  5. Meanwhile, bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions (usually 2-3 minutes). Drain and set aside. Toss with a splash of olive oil if noodles stick together.
  6. Cut chicken into thin slices or bite-sized pieces. For shredded chicken, use two forks to pull apart.
  7. Divide cooked ramen noodles among 4 bowls. Ladle hot garlic parmesan broth over each. Top with sliced chicken, baby spinach, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley or basil.
  8. Garnish with extra parmesan, a drizzle of olive oil, or an extra pinch of herbs. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

For gluten-free, use gluten-free ramen or rice noodles. For dairy-free, substitute coconut cream and dairy-free parmesan. Sear chicken well for best flavor. Simmer broth gently to avoid splitting. Broth can be made ahead and reheated. Store noodles and broth separately for leftovers.
