Tender chicken and crisp-tender asparagus are seared with garlic, then tossed in a glossy sweet soy and chili sauce with a knob of butter for richness. Silky ramen noodles soak up every drop of the sauce, brightened with a squeeze of fresh lime. Topped with crunchy toasted peanuts, this bold, sweet-spicy bowl comes together in under 30 minutes.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Bring a medium pot (large pot for 4 servings) of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce.

  • Trim woody ends from asparagus, then cut into 2-inch pieces. Quarter lime. Roughly chop peanuts. (TIP: For added flavor, toast peanuts before chopping. Add peanuts to a large dry pan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring often, until toasted, 2-4 minutes. Season with salt; cook, stirring, 1 minute more.)

Cook Noodles
2
  • Once water is boiling, add noodles to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 1-2 minutes. Drain and rinse thoroughly under cold water, at least 30 seconds.

Cook Chicken & Asparagus
3
  • While noodles cook, open package of chicken*. Drain any excess liquid.

  • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and asparagus; season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is browned and cooked through and asparagus is crisp-tender, 5-7 minutes.

  • Remove pan from heat. Add sweet soy glaze, chili sauce, 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings), and chili flakes to taste (we used ½ tsp; 1 tsp for 4 servings); stir to combine. If sauce is too sweet, add a splash of water. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

Finish & Serve
4
  • To pan with chicken and asparagus, add drained noodles and juice from one lime wedge (two wedges for 4 servings); toss to coat. Taste and season with salt.

  • Divide chicken ramen between shallow bowls and sprinkle chopped peanuts on top. Serve with any remaining lime wedges on the side.
