Ingredients

2 large chicken breasts, sliced horizontally (for thinner cutlets)

1 tsp paprika

Salt and black pepper, to taste

2 tbsp olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (oil-packed preferred)

1 tsp dried oregano

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

4 cups chicken broth (low-sodium preferred)

3/4 cup heavy cream (room temperature)

1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

4 packs ramen noodles (seasoning packets discarded)

2 cups fresh spinach

Fresh basil, for garnish

Instructions

Season Chicken: Pat chicken dry and season both sides with paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Sear Chicken: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear chicken 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside to rest.

Sauté Aromatics: In the same pot, add garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Deglaze Pot: Pour in chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Bring to a gentle simmer.

Make Cream Base: Stir in heavy cream and parmesan cheese, whisking until smooth and melted. Broth should become creamy and orange-tinted.

Cook Noodles: Add ramen noodles and cook for 3–4 minutes until tender. (Tip: Cook noodles separately if making ahead to prevent sogginess.)

Wilt Spinach: Stir in spinach and let it wilt for 30 seconds, then remove from heat.

Assemble: Slice rested chicken and serve over the noodles. Garnish with fresh basil and extra chili flakes if desired.

Notes

To avoid soggy noodles in leftovers, cook noodles separately and combine just before serving.

You can substitute rotisserie chicken for an even quicker version.

Add mushrooms or peas for extra texture and veggies.

For a spicier broth, increase red pepper flakes or add a splash of hot sauce.
