Step-by-Step Instructions for Fiery Chicken Ramen
- Begin by boiling a large pot of water over high heat. Once it reaches a rolling boil, add the ramen noodles and cook according to the package instructions, typically around 3-4 minutes, until they're al dente. Drain the noodles in a colander and set them aside while you prepare the chicken and sauce.
- In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of cayenne for an early kick. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice it into bite-sized pieces.
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add minced garlic, sautéing for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not burnt. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring in cayenne pepper, chili powder, and Parmesan cheese. Simmer the sauce for around 3-5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
- Add the cooked ramen and sliced chicken back into the skillet with the creamy sauce. Toss gently for about 2-3 minutes, ensuring every noodle and piece of chicken is coated in the heavenly combination of flavors.
- Plate the Fiery Chicken Ramen into bowls and finish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice for a perfect zesty balance. Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Notes
Adjust cayenne and chili powder for desired heat. Use fresh ramen noodles for best texture. Allow sauce to simmer until thickened.
