1 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon hot sauce or chili paste (adjust to taste)
2 tablespoons olive oil

2 stalks green onions, sliced
1 tablespoon chili oil (optional)
Instructions
1. Pat dry the chicken thighs and season with salt, pepper, and chili powder or your preferred spicy rub.

4. Reduce heat, stir in heavy cream, soy sauce, and chili paste. Simmer gently until the sauce thickens.
5. Cook ramen noodles in boiling water per package instructions. Drain and set aside.
6. Divide noodles into bowls. Pour creamy garlic sauce over each.
7. Top with sliced chicken, green onions, and a drizzle of chili oil.
8. Serve hot and enjoy immediately.
Notes
For extra depth, marinate the chicken in chili sauce and soy sauce for 30 minutes before cooking.
Add a splash of broth or water when reheating the sauce to maintain a silky texture.
