Instructions

Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, combine the bite-sized chicken pieces with soy sauce, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Cook Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken pieces and cook until they are golden brown and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Prepare Broth: In the same skillet, pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the heavy cream and chili sauce, mixing until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Allow the broth to simmer for about 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
Cook Noodles: Meanwhile, cook the instant ramen noodles in boiling water according to package instructions without using the seasoning packets, then drain and divide into serving bowls.
Combine and Serve: Return the cooked chicken to the creamy broth and heat together for another 2 minutes. Ladle the hot, fiery chicken ramen soup over the noodles in each bowl. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions and sprinkle sesame seeds on top. Serve immediately for a comforting and spicy meal.

Notes

For a stronger garlic flavor, cook some of the minced garlic in olive oil before adding the broth.
Adjust chili sauce quantity based on desired spice level.
Use low-fat cream or coconut milk for a lighter version.
Substitute chicken breasts with tofu or mushrooms for a vegetarian alternative.
Garnish with boiled eggs or nori sheets for extra authenticity.
