# Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Rub chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, and sriracha. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until fully cooked (internal temp 165°F/75°C). Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
02 - In a medium pot, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in chicken broth, soy sauce, miso paste, gochujang, red pepper flakes, rice vinegar, and sugar. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
03 - In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, then stir in Parmesan cheese (if using). Remove from heat.
04 - Bring a separate pot of water to a boil. Cook ramen noodles according to package instructions, then drain.
05 - Divide noodles into bowls and pour over the spicy broth. Top with sliced spicy chicken and drizzle with creamy garlic sauce. Add soft-boiled eggs, green onions, bean sprouts, sesame seeds, and nori. Drizzle with extra sriracha or chili oil for an extra fiery kick!

# Notes:

01 - Adjust the Heat: Reduce gochujang and chili flakes for a milder version.
02 - Protein Swap: Use shrimp, tofu, or shredded pork instead of chicken.
03 - Dairy-Free Option: Replace heavy cream with coconut milk and omit Parmesan.
04 - Extra Toppings: Try adding sautéed mushrooms, corn, or bok choy for more texture.
