Curry Chicken Ramen

Last week on Facebook live, I whipped up this easy curry chicken ramen. It was pure deliciousness. Normally, we eat ramen with the seasoning packets that come with it. Not this time!
I put my twist on it to take this ramen to the next level.

I use some curry I had in the pantry and some leftover chicken I had in the fridge. To whip up this meal. Although the recipe calls for raw chicken thighs, you can take a short cut by using a store-bought rotisserie chicken to save some time.

Chicken Ramen Cooking Tips:

Chicken thighs have more flavor and we’re going for flavor in this easy and fast recipe. When buying ramen, you can get the pack we all group up on or buy the individuals ramen noodles. You will not be using the season pack, too much sodium and we’re bringing the flavor on this dish. You can also use a shredded rotisserie chicken, just add the shredded chicken right before you add the coconut milk.

Can you make ahead?

No, this dish is best served immediately after cooking.
