Instructions

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the bite-sized chicken pieces with soy sauce, paprika, salt, and pepper. Let it sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Sauté Garlic and Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
Make the Broth: Pour in the chicken broth, heavy cream, and chili sauce into the skillet. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer.
Cook Ramen Noodles: Add the instant ramen noodles to the simmering broth. Cook until noodles are tender, about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep noodles separate.
Finish and Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Ladle the ramen into bowls, garnish with thinly sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Serve hot for a comforting and spicy meal.

Notes

For less heat, reduce or omit the chili sauce and add a splash of soy sauce for flavor.
Use low-sodium chicken broth to control saltiness.
Substitute heavy cream with coconut milk for a dairy-free version.
You can add vegetables like spinach or mushrooms for extra nutrition.
Make sure to discard the seasoning packets from instant ramen to avoid excess sodium.
