Instructions

1
Season the chicken pieces with a pinch of salt and pepper.
2
In a large pot, melt butter over medium-high heat, then place the chicken skin side down; cook until golden, about 4 minutes, then flip and set aside.
3
Add minced garlic to the same pot, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant—watch closely so it doesn’t brown.
4
Pour in chicken broth and soy sauce, scraping up any browned bits.
5
Bring the broth to a gentle simmer, then stir in heavy cream and sesame oil.
6
Return the chicken to the pot, letting it simmer for 5 minutes while the flavors meld.
7
Add the ramen noodles, cooking according to package directions (usually 3-4 minutes).
8
If the broth thickens too much, add a splash of reserved noodle water.
9
Taste and adjust seasoning with extra soy sauce or a pinch of salt.
10
Ladle into bowls, garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and a drizzle of chili oil if desired.
