👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Cook the chicken:

• Season sliced chicken with soy sauce, garlic powder, salt & pepper.
• In a large skillet, heat oil and cook chicken until golden and cooked through. Set aside.

2. Make the creamy garlic sauce:

• In the same pan, melt butter, then sauté the garlic for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
• Stir in flour and cook for 30 seconds to form a roux.
• Slowly whisk in milk and broth, stirring until smooth and thickened (about 4–5 minutes).
• Add soy sauce, sesame oil, and Parmesan if using.
• Taste and season with salt and pepper.

3. Cook ramen noodles:

• While the sauce simmers, cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions.
• Drain and add them straight into the garlic sauce.

4. Bring it all together:

• Toss in the cooked chicken and stir everything together until coated in the creamy sauce.
• Let simmer for 1–2 minutes to marry the flavors.
