Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (button, cremini, or a mix)

  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour

  • 4 cups chicken broth

  • 1½ cups cooked shredded chicken (or rotisserie)

  • 1 cup half-and-half or heavy cream

  • ½ tsp dried thyme

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • Optional: ½ cup cooked rice or egg noodles

  • Garnish: chopped fresh parsley or a dash of paprika

Directions

  • Sauté veggies: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook until soft, about 3–4 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for another minute.
  • Cook mushrooms: Add sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their juices and begin to brown, 6–8 minutes.
  • Make the roux: Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir for 1–2 minutes until it’s fully absorbed.
  • Add broth: Slowly pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring to a simmer.
  • Add chicken & cream: Stir in the cooked chicken, cream, thyme, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat and simmer gently for 10–15 minutes.
  • Add rice/noodles (optional): If using, stir in the rice or noodles and heat through.
  • Serve: Ladle into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley or a sprinkle of paprika, and enjoy warm with crusty bread.

Notes

  • For a richer soup: Use heavy cream or add a splash of white wine with the broth.
  • Make it lighter: Use milk instead of cream and skip the flour for a thinner broth.
  • Vegetarian version: Swap chicken for white beans or tofu and use vegetable broth.
  • Storage: Keeps well in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat gently—don’t boil, or the cream may separate

  • ¼ cup honey or maple syrup

Directions

This One Pan Ramen Chicken Alfredo is a quick and creamy twist on classic Alfredo pasta, combining tender chicken, rich sauce, and instant ramen noodles for a fast, satisfying meal. Perfect for busy nights, this dish delivers comfort food flavors with minimal cleanup.

Origin Easy One Pan Ramen Chicken Alfredo

Alfredo sauce originates from Italy, traditionally made with butter, cream, and Parmesan cheese. This version takes inspiration from Japanese ramen, swapping traditional pasta for quick-cooking ramen noodles. This fusion brings together the best of both worlds—silky Alfredo sauce and the springy texture of ramen.

What I Love About This Recipe

This dish is incredibly easy, coming together in just 20 minutes. I love how the ramen absorbs the creamy Alfredo sauce, making it extra flavorful. Plus, it’s a one-pan meal, so there’s barely any cleanup. It’s a perfect budget-friendly, comforting dinner that feels indulgent without much effort.
