Ingredients
- Fresh ramen noodles or dried ramen noodles

- Fresh garlic
- Onion
- Low-sodium chicken broth
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Start by chopping your onion and mincing the garlic. Slice the chicken breast into thin strips for quicker cooking.
- Cook the chicken: In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken strips and season with salt and pepper. Cook until they’re browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside.
- Sauté the aromatics: In the same pot, add a bit more olive oil if needed, then sauté the onion until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Make the creamy base: Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Stir in the heavy cream and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Add the spinach: Toss in the fresh spinach and stir until it wilts, which should take about a minute.
- Combine the ingredients: Return the cooked chicken to the pot. Add the ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions until they’re tender, usually about 3-4 minutes.
- Finish with cheese: Once the noodles are cooked, remove the pot from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and combined. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve: Dish out the ramen into bowls and sprinkle some extra Parmesan on top if desired.
