Instructions

Marinate the Chicken: Combine the bite-sized chicken pieces with soy sauce, chili sauce, and honey in a bowl. Mix well to coat all the chicken evenly. Cover and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb the spicy and sweet flavors.
Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large pot or deep skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken pieces and sauté for 6 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and slightly caramelized.
Add Flavor: Stir in the minced garlic and paprika into the cooked chicken. Cook everything together for about 1 minute until the garlic becomes fragrant and the spices are well blended into the chicken.
Add Broth and Noodles: Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Add the instant ramen noodles to the boiling broth and cook according to the package instructions, usually between 3 to 5 minutes, until the noodles are tender.
Incorporate Cream: Reduce the heat to low and gently stir in the heavy cream. Let the ramen simmer for 5 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken and flavors to meld. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve: Ladle the creamy fiery chicken ramen into bowls. Garnish generously with sliced green onions and serve immediately while hot for the best taste experience.

Notes

Marinating the chicken overnight intensifies the flavors.
Use low-sodium soy sauce to control the salt content.
For extra heat, add more chili sauce or a dash of red pepper flakes.
Substitute heavy cream with coconut milk for a dairy-free alternative.
Garnish with a soft-boiled egg or sesame seeds for added texture and taste.
