Ramen Noodles with Chicken
These are Ramen Noodles, AKA my college BFFs, but gourmet-itized. And if you’re new to Ramen Noodles Skillet, welcome to your new favorite din-din!
Ramen noodles were popular in my life back then AND now because they are delicious, comforting, and magical! They are versatile, relatively easy to prepare, and can be used in various dishes. One delightful way to enjoy ramen noodles is by pairing them with chicken and vegetables for a tasty meal.
This dish is not only delicious but also a great way to enjoy some nutrients from the vegetables and lean protein from the chicken. Best of all, it’s a quick and easy meal to prepare, making it an excellent option for busy weeknights.
What Can I Combine with Ramen?
You can customize this ramen meal by adding or substituting different vegetables or proteins. You could add sliced mushrooms or broccoli florets or substitute the chicken with salmon, tofu, or shrimp. Adding peas, corn kernels, and shelled edamame also comes to mind. Kimchi, too.
How To Make Chicken Ramen Noodles Skillet
