Directions

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
2. Add the chicken breasts to the pot and cook until browned on both sides, approximately 5-6 minutes.
3. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes.
4. Remove the chicken from the pot and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
5. Add the ramen noodles to the simmering broth and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 3-4 minutes.
6. In the last few minutes of cooking, add the mixed vegetables and heavy cream to the pot.
7. Stir in the soy sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste.
8. Serve hot, topped with the sliced chicken and garnished with chopped parsley.

Tips & Variations

• Ingredient substitutions: For a lighter version, you can use chicken thighs or tofu instead of chicken breasts. You can also replace heavy cream with half-and-half or coconut milk for a dairy-free option.
• Optional variations: Add a soft-boiled egg on top for extra richness, or spice it up by incorporating sriracha or red pepper flakes.
• Storage or reheating tips: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of broth if needed to loosen the noodles.
