Ingredients
  

For the Ramen
  • 2 pieces chicken breasts, cooked and shredded (rotisserie or poached)
  • 4 cups chicken broth (low-sodium recommended)
  • 2 packs ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
  • 1 cup heavy cream Substitute half-and-half or full-fat coconut milk
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced Use fresh garlic for best aroma
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (bell peppers, carrots, broccoli, or frozen stir-fry mix)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce Use low-sodium soy sauce for better control of salt
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • to taste green onions, sliced, for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pour the chicken broth into a large pot and warm it over medium heat. Bring it to a gentle simmer.
  2. Add the minced garlic. Stir and cook about 30 to 60 seconds until fragrant, but do not brown the garlic.
  3. Lower the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and soy sauce until the mixture is smooth and slightly glossy.
Cooking
  1. Add the shredded chicken and mixed vegetables. Stir and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp and the chicken is heated through.
  2. While the chicken and veggies warm, cook the ramen noodles according to the package directions until al dente.
  3. Drain the noodles well and transfer them to the pot with the garlic cream sauce. Toss gently to coat the noodles evenly.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  5. Serve hot in bowls and garnish with sliced green onions.
