Directions
I start by seasoning the chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. I heat olive oil and butter in a large pot or deep skillet and sear the chicken until golden and cooked through. I remove it from the pan and slice it once slightly cooled.
In the same pot, I add garlic and sun-dried tomatoes, cooking until fragrant. I pour in the chicken broth, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes, then bring everything to a gentle simmer. I stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese until the broth becomes creamy and smooth.
I add the ramen noodles directly to the pot and cook them until tender, stirring gently so they don’t stick together. I return the sliced chicken to the pot and let everything simmer for a few minutes so the flavors meld together.
I finish with fresh basil or parsley just before serving.

Variations
I sometimes add spinach or mushrooms for extra texture and flavor. When I want more heat, I increase the red pepper flakes or add a drizzle of chili oil. I also enjoy using coconut milk instead of cream for a slightly different but still creamy twist.
Storage/Reheating
I store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, I add a splash of chicken broth or cream to loosen the noodles and warm it gently on the stovetop. I avoid high heat so the sauce stays smooth.

I use rotisserie chicken when I want to save time and simply add it toward the end.
What Kind Of Ramen Works Best?
I like using plain ramen noodles without seasoning packets so I can control the flavor.
Can I Make This Less Creamy?
I reduce the amount of cream and add extra broth for a lighter version.
Is This Recipe Spicy?
I find it mildly spicy, but I easily adjust the heat by changing the red pepper flakes.
Can I Make This Ahead Of Time?
I prepare it ahead, but I slightly undercook the noodles so they don’t get too soft when reheated.
