- Pour in the chicken broth and raise the heat until it boils. Add the ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions (3-5 minutes).
- Reduce the heat to low, gently stir in the heavy cream and simmer for 5 minutes to thicken the sauce.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle the ramen into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions.

For best flavor, marinate the chicken overnight. You can customize the spice to your liking with more or less chili sauce. Adding vegetables like spinach or bok choy is encouraged. If seeking lighter variations, use coconut milk instead of heavy cream.
