Marry Me Chicken Ramen - Myriad Recipes (2024)

This is my Marry Me Chicken Ramen and you are going to want to give this a go because it’s the ultimate comfort food! It’s all cooked in one pan, so there’s minimal washing up, and it might just make someone want to marry you because it is so incredibly delicious.

If you've never heard of Marry Me Chicken, then this is your sign to try it. It's not everyday that something goes viral on social media, but this Marry Me Chicken dish went crazy, so I had to pair it with one of my favourite forms of eating, ramen.

Another viral trend that I am loving at the moment is the chopped salad sandwich! I made my own version for the chopped salad sandwich inspired by Vietnamese Bánh Mì and it's SO good (if I do say so myself)!

I love finding new ways of combining flavours, textures, and ingredients, and this marriage between the creamy flavourful chicken recipe and soupy ramen is a match made in heaven. Similar to my Marry Me Chicken Pie, Marry Me Chicken Tortellini, and Marry Me Chicken Chopped Salad Sandwich, you can make it all in one pan, which is such a dream!

Why You'll Love This Recipe

Quick to make - We all love a recipe that doesn't take all evening to make. This Marry Me Chicken Ramen is just that. Taking less than 30 minutes, this recipe is perfect for a quick weeknight meal to make for yourself, with friends, or family! Another great 30 min ramen recipe is my Wagamama Ramen Recipe, such a crowd-pleaser!

One pan meal - A one-pot meal can save the day. Less washing up and easy cooking, this dish is really simple for when you've had a busy day. Made all in one pan, this creamy ramen is honestly a life saver for when you just don't have time! Another one pan meal that's similar to this dish but has a freshness using lemon, is my lemon chicken ramen, it's so good and super refreshing yet comforting.

Comforting - On a cold winter's day, there's nothing better than a big bowl of hot noodles and this marry me chicken ramen as well as my leftover turkey ramen or my tomato egg drop noodle soup are great choices.

Ingredients & Substitutions

Chicken - You'll want to use chicken breast for this recipe. If you've only got chicken thighs available, they'll work too. For a vegan alternative, I'd recommend using tofu, portobello mushrooms, or a packet of plant-based chicken.

Sun-dried tomatoes - One of the star ingredients to making this dish Marry Me Chicken. I bought jarred sun-dried tomatoes and used a handful, roughly chopped.

Seasonings - To add flavour to your broth, you'll want to add paprika, chilli flakes, and dried oregano.

Stock - I've used chicken stock for this recipe, but feel free to use veggie stock.

Cream - Single cream adds that necessary "creaminess" and lusciousness that Marry Me chicken needs, just like my creamy cheesy baked chicken in cream of chicken soup (another great dinner option!!). I'd recommend using sugar-free soy cream if you're looking for a plant-based option.

Ramen noodles - There are all kinds of noodles you can choose from. I'd recommend using ramen noodles, the ones I bought are Itsu Ramen noodles, but Yutaka also do frozen ramen noodles. If you can't find any at your local supermarket, go to your local Asian grocery store and as them there!

Toppings - I love a ramen topping, and for this dish, we're adding freshly chopped coriander, beansprouts for crunch, spring onions, edamame beans, grated parmesan, and chilli oil (if you don't have chili oil, here are 13 of my top chili oil substitutes for you). Feel free to add on anything else you like. A boiled egg would be delicious, or crispy onions would work too!

What To Do With Leftovers

Storage: Place any leftovers in a Tupperware and leave to cool. Then, add on the airtight lid and place in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, add in a few tablespoons of water or chicken stock and place in the microwave until piping hot.

Freezing: Creamy sauces and cooked ramen noodles don't freeze that well. However, if it's otherwise going to waste, then place in an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months. When you're ready to eat it, leave to defrost overnight in the fridge. Then, heat it up in a saucepan gently with an extra 100ml chicken stock.
