Cooking Instructions
Let’s get cooking and create this showstopper!
1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by patting your chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps to ensure a beautiful sear. Season them generously with salt and pepper. Heat the 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully add the chicken breasts. Sear them for about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and a good crust has formed. We’re not cooking them through at this stage, just getting that delicious flavour and colour. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside on a plate. Don’t wipe out the pan – those browned bits are pure flavour gold!
2. Build the Flavour Base: Reduce the heat to medium. Add the 50g of all-purpose flour to the same pan, stirring it into the chicken drippings and remaining olive oil. Cook this flour mixture, known as a roux, for about 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. This step is crucial for thickening the sauce later and cooking out the raw flour taste. Now, add the 3 minced garlic cloves and the 8 sliced sun-dried tomatoes to the pan. Stir and cook for another minute until the garlic is fragrant, being careful not to burn it. Next, stir in the 1/2 tbsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tbsp oregano, and 1/2 tbsp chilli flakes. Let these spices toast in the pan for about 30 seconds, releasing their wonderful aromas.
3. Create the Creamy Sauce: Gradually whisk in the 600ml of chicken stock, a little at a time, making sure to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Continue whisking until the sauce is smooth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Once simmering, slowly pour in the 300ml of single cream, stirring continuously. Add the 2 tbsp of grated parmesan, 1/2 tsp ground pepper, 1/2 tsp flaky salt, and 1/2 tsp sugar. Stir everything together until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. The sugar helps to balance the richness of the cream and the tang of the sun-dried tomatoes.
4. Finish the Chicken and Noodles: Return the seared chicken breasts to the pan, nestling them into the creamy sauce. Cover the pan (if it’s not oven-safe, you can transfer everything to an oven-safe dish at this point) and let it simmer gently on the stovetop, or place it in a preheated oven at 180°C (160°C fan/Gas Mark 4) for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the centre. While the chicken is finishing, cook your 200g of ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Typically, this involves boiling them for a few minutes until tender but still with a slight bite (al dente). Drain them well.
5. Assemble and Serve: Once the chicken is cooked through, remove the pan from the heat. You can either slice the chicken breasts before serving or keep them whole. To serve, ladle a generous portion of the creamy “Marry Me” sauce into shallow bowls. Add a nest of the cooked ramen noodles to the centre of each bowl. Top with a chicken breast (sliced or whole). Garnish with extra grated parmesan and a sprinkle of fresh parsley if you have some on hand for a pop of colour. This dish is best enjoyed immediately, while the sauce is warm and the noodles are perfectly cooked. The combination of tender chicken, the rich, flavourful sauce, and the satisfying ramen noodles makes this a truly unforgettable meal. Enjoy every delicious bite!

Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I make this Marry Me Chicken Ramen vegetarian?
Absolutely! For a vegetarian version, simply omit the chicken and substitute it with pan-fried tofu or your favorite hearty mushrooms like shiitake or king oyster. You might want to increase the amount of sun-dried tomatoes or add a touch of nutritional yeast to the broth for a richer flavor profile.
What if I don’t have heavy cream?
No worries! You can achieve a similar creaminess by using half-and-half, or even full-fat coconut milk for a dairy-free option. The texture might be slightly different, but the flavor will still be fantastic. You might want to add a touch more parmesan to compensate for any perceived richness.
How spicy can this ramen be?
The base recipe has a mild, creamy flavor. To add heat, you can incorporate a pinch of red pepper flakes into the broth while it simmers, or drizzle a swirl of your favorite chili oil or sriracha over the top just before serving. Adjust to your personal spice preference!
