Chicken Curry Ramen combines grilled chicken thighs with tasty broth, veggies, and ramen noodles!!😋

Ingredients Used for Curry Chicken Ramen:

• Chicken – I like to use chicken thighs for this one because you get tender chicken every time. However, chicken breasts work great too (but be careful to avoid drying it out).
• Curry Powder – Curry powders usually consist of turmeric, cumin, ginger, and black pepper. While some blends contain garlic and cinnamon as well, curry has a warm and robust pungency that adds incredible flavor to everything it touches.
• Veggies – Really, any combo of veggies is nice. I used a combo of carrots, mushrooms (Bella or Shiitake mushrooms), and spinach for this go-around. Bell peppers would be nice too.
• The broth – The broth is key to good ramen. Make sure you add all of the ingredients listed including fresh garlic and fresh ginger!
• Ramen – Of course you’ll need to add some ramen noodles (ditch the seasoning packet) for the complete experience.
• Large Eggs (optional) – We like serving this with soft cooked eggs and some diced green onions.  A pinch of chili flakes or a drizzle of chili oil would also be delicious.

• How to make Chicken Curry Ramen:

  Step 1
  Prep the chicken. No need to add a marinade to the chicken. Just add the curry powder, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the chicken. You can also add a drizzle of olive oil if desired. I like to let it sit out for about 30 minutes prior to cooking.

• 
• Step 2
  Grill the chicken. Light a grill to medium heat. When hot, add the chicken thighs, flipping it to get grill marks on both sides. Grill until golden brown, approximately 165 degrees f on a digital thermometer.

  Let the chicken rest for about 6-7 minutes. Then slice it into strips or bite-sized pieces.

• 
• Step 3
  Cook carrots and mushrooms (or other veggies). Meanwhile, cook the veggies. In a medium stock pot, add a drizzle of sesame oil, and then add the chopped carrots and mushrooms. Cook until softened, stirring occasionally. Add salt and pepper to taste. Remove veggies and set aside on a plate.

• Step 4
  Make broth. Use the same pot to cook the broth. Add additional oil to the pan over medium-low heat. (Don’t let the pan get too hot when cooking garlic or you’ll burn it!) Add the garlic and ginger and stir for a minute or so, until fragrant.

  Then add the remaining broth ingredients – the chicken broth (or chicken stock), soy sauce, and fish sauce. Add additional salt and pepper as needed. Bring the broth to a simmer and cook for about 15 minutes (or longer) to enhance the flavor of the broth.

  Step 5
  Add spinach and ramen. At the last minute, add the ramen noodles and break apart with a fork. Then add the spinach and let simmer for another couple of minutes and give a good stir until the ramen and spinach are softened.

  

  

  Step 6
  Assemble bowls. To individual serving bowls, add the broth and ramen mixture. Top with the veggies, the sliced grilled chicken, and sliced green onions.

  Optional. You can add a soft-boiled egg as well. Optional but delicious!
