Step-by-Step Instructions for Fiery Chicken Ramen
  1. Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Chop the garlic and set aside. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil. Add chicken, seasoning with salt and pepper. Sauté for 6-8 minutes until cooked through.
  3. In a separate pot, bring water to a boil. Cook ramen noodles according to package instructions, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. In the same skillet, add cayenne pepper and chili powder. Stir to release aroma, add cooked chicken back into the skillet.
  5. Melt butter in a saucepan, add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Pour in heavy cream, stirring until smooth and slightly thickened.
  6. Add cooked ramen noodles into the skillet with chicken and spicy sauce. Toss gently to coat noodles with sauce.
  7. Serve hot in bowls, drizzle with creamy garlic sauce, and garnish with lime juice and Parmesan cheese.
