    About this recipe

    This chicken ramen recipe is packed with so much flavor and is pretty easy which is perfect for a weeknight dinner. You should know that authentic ramen recipe calls for a broth that has been cooked for several hour and there is no doubt that it’s an absolutely delicious broth.

    This recipe however includes a chicken broth that’s ready in 30 minutes. It’s perfect for the times you’re craving something delicious, comforting and homemade but don’t want to spend too much time in the kitchen. 

    This is a healthy and easy recipe you can make to jazz up your weeknight meals and bring more flavor to your table. You’ll be amazed by the flavors and how easy this homemade chicken ramen is.

    Ingredients and substitutions

    • Eggs: I usually go with one egg per person. You want the eggs to be soft boiled with a yolk being just a bit runny. You can try cooking the eggs using my instant pot eggs tutorial or if you have the time, try making ramen eggs.
    • Garlic and ginger: These are essential ingredients to have on hand if you want the broth to be jam-packed with flavor.
    • Soy sauce: Since we are using chicken broth as well, make sure the soy sauce is low sodium.
    • Chicken broth: It's best to use low sodium chicken broth for this recipe. You can also use vegetable broth or just water.
    • Vegetables: I used baby bella mushrooms and bok choy for this chicken ramen recipe. You can also use shiitake or white button mushrooms and use other greens such as spinach.
    • Chicken: I use boneless skinless chicken breast for this recipe and sear it first to lock in the juices before baking it. This way the chicken will be very juicy and tender.
    Chicken ramen is perfect for weeknight dinners. Top with eggs, chicken and bok choy.

    Instructions

    1. Cook the noodles: Bring a pot of water to boil and cook the noodles according to the packaging.
    2. Make the broth: Sauté garlic and ginger for a minute. Add the soy sauce and the chicken stock and bring it to a simmer. Cook for about 30 minutes. Add the mushrooms and bok choy and cook for another 10 minutes.
    3. Prepare the chicken: While the broth is being cooked, season the chicken and and sear it in a pan. Then finish cooking in the oven.
    4. Cook the eggs: Fill a saucepan with water and gently place the eggs in the saucepan. Place it over medium high heat and bring it to a boil. Cook the eggs for only 7 minutes. Drain and put them in a bowl full of ice water so they stop cooking.
    5. Assemble: To assemble the chicken ramen bowls, divide the noodles among the bowls, pour the broth over the cooked  ramen noodles and top with cooked mushrooms, bok choy and sliced chicken. Finish with the egg and serve immediately.
    This homemade ramen recipe with chicken is perfect for family and is better than take out.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can I make this ahead of time?

    You can make each component of the dish (the eggs, broth, chicken and noodles) up to one day in advance. I recommend assembling the bowls right before serving.

    What to do with the leftovers?

    It's best to store each component separately in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days.

    Can I use any other protein instead of chicken?

    Yes, you can make the same dish using seared tofu or baked or seared shrimp.

      These flavors are fantastic! A far cry from the ramen of my college days. The chicken is so moist! I was able to make it with gluten-free ramen too.
