Boil water in a pot and cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Make the Spicy Broth

In a pot, heat sesame oil and sauté minced garlic until aromatic. Add chicken broth, soy sauce, and heavy cream. Simmer for 5-7 minutes.

Assemble the Ramen Bowl

Divide the noodles into bowls. Pour the spicy broth over the noodles. Top with sliced chicken and drizzle with creamy garlic sauce.
