Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add thinly sliced chicken breast and sauté for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and no longer pink. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
  2. Using the same pot, add 4 minced garlic cloves and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant and slightly golden. Avoid burning to prevent bitterness.
  3. Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth and 3 tablespoons of soy sauce. Stir well, bringing it to a simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
  4. Cook ramen noodles according to package instructions, around 3-4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  5. Return cooked chicken to the pot and reduce heat to low. Gradually stir in 1 cup of heavy cream, mixing until creamy. Avoid boiling.
  6. Serve the cooked ramen noodles in a bowl and ladle the creamy garlic chicken sauce over. Garnish with green onions and season with salt and black pepper.
