Let’s Get Cooking!

Follow these simple steps to create your own bowl of Marry Me Chicken Ramen.

Preparing the Chicken

Start by preparing your chicken. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This is an important step as it helps to create a nice sear on the chicken, locking in the juices. Season both sides generously with a pinch of flaky salt and ground pepper. In a shallow dish, spread out the 50g of all-purpose flour. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, ensuring it’s evenly coated on all sides. This flour coating will not only help to brown the chicken but will also act as a thickening agent for our delicious sauce later on.

Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the floured chicken breasts into the hot pan. Sear the chicken for about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of your chicken breasts. You want them to be cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside on a plate. Don’t worry about cleaning the pan; those browned bits are packed with flavor and will be crucial for our sauce.

Crafting the Creamy Sauce

Reduce the heat of the skillet to medium. If there’s excess oil, you can carefully drain some of it off, leaving about a tablespoon in the pan. Add the minced garlic cloves to the pan and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic, as it can turn bitter. Next, add the sliced sun-dried tomatoes, smoked paprika, oregano, and chilli flakes. Stir everything together and cook for another minute, allowing the spices to bloom and release their aromas into the oil. This step is where the “marry me” magic really starts to happen, infusing the base with incredible flavor.

Pour in the 600ml of chicken stock and bring it to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let this mixture simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together and the sauce to reduce slightly. Now, it’s time to introduce the creaminess. Pour in the 300ml of single cream and stir well. Bring the sauce back to a gentle simmer. Add the 2 tbsp of grated parmesan cheese, along with the 1/2 tsp of sugar, and stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth and luxurious. The sugar helps to balance the acidity of the sun-dried tomatoes and enhances the overall sweetness of the sauce.

Bringin extractg it all Together

While the sauce is simmering, prepare your ramen noodles according to the package directions. Typically, this involves boiling them in water for a few minutes until they are tender but still have a slight bite (al dente). Once cooked, drain the noodles well. While the noodles are cooking, slice the cooked chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Once the sauce has thickened to your liking and the flavors are well-combined, return the sliced chicken to the pan and stir to coat it in the creamy sauce. Let it simmer gently for another minute or two to heat the chicken through.

To serve, divide the cooked ramen noodles among serving bowls. Ladle the creamy Marry Me Chicken sauce, with plenty of chicken and sun-dried tomatoes, over the noodles. Garnish with extra grated parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of fresh parsley if you have some on hand. This dish is best enjoyed immediately while hot and creamy. The richness of the sauce, the tender chicken, and the satisfying chew of the ramen noodles create an unforgettable culinary experience. Enjoy every single delicious bite!

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I make this Marry Me Chicken Ramen ahead of time?

While the sauce can be made a day in advance and reheated, it’s best to assemble and cook the ramen just before serving to ensure the noodles have the perfect texture. The chicken can also be cooked ahead and reheated gently in the sauce.

What kind of chicken should I use?

Boneless, skinless chicken thighs are ideal for their tenderness and flavor. However, chicken breast works too, though you’ll want to be careful not to overcook it. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces for quicker cooking and easier enjoyment.

Is this recipe spicy?

The traditional “marry me” sauce is not spicy. However, you can easily add heat by incorporating a pinch of red pepper flakes into the sauce as it simmers, or by serving with a side of chili oil.
