Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by slicing the chicken breasts into thinner pieces for quicker cooking. In a bowl, coat the chicken evenly with a mix of cayenne pepper, chili powder, and a pinch of salt. Set it aside to marinate for about 10 minutes.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of cooking oil. Once hot, place the marinated chicken pieces in the skillet and sauté for 5–7 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. In a separate large pot, bring water to a rolling boil. Add the ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions, about 3–4 minutes. Drain and toss with a drizzle of oil.
  4. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the cream and sprinkle in Parmesan cheese, stirring until smooth.
  5. Add the cooked ramen noodles into the creamy garlic sauce, tossing gently to coat. Slice the chicken and arrange it on top.
  6. Plate your Fiery Chicken Ramen, drizzle with remaining sauce, and garnish with lime juice, herbs, or extra cheese before serving hot.
