Ingredients
Protein

- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
Veggies
- 2 cups fresh vegetables (spinach, carrots, bell peppers)
Noodles
- 4 servings ramen noodles
Sauce & Oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Aromatics & Spices
- 4 cloves garlic, minced

Toppings
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
Preparation
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pot over medium heat, add 4 cloves minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
- Add the 2 chicken breasts and cook until browned on both sides, about 4–5 minutes per side; remove and set aside.
Cooking
- Pour in 4 cups chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
- Add 4 servings ramen noodles and 2 cups fresh vegetables, cooking according to noodle package instructions until noodles are tender.
- Slice the chicken into strips while the noodles cook, then stir in 1 cup heavy cream and 2 tablespoons soy sauce. Add the sliced chicken back to the pot and heat through.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, then serve hot topped with chopped green onions.
Notes
Don't overcook the noodles; stop cooking when they're just tender to avoid sogginess. Simmer the broth gently after adding cream to prevent curdling. Use medium heat for browning chicken so it develops color without drying out. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheat gently.
