In the dish, there are also shredded pieces of cooked chicken mixed throughout the noodles and vegetables. A wooden spoon scoops part of the stir-fry from the bottom right side of the dish, and the scene is set on a white marbled textured surface with a striped cloth napkin and a small bowl of sesame seeds partly visible. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

  • 3 ¼ cups chicken bone broth (or regular broth)
  • ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 3 Tbsp honey
  • 2-3 tsp sriracha
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 Tbsp rice vinegar
  • 4-5 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tsp minced ginger
  • 1 ½ Tbsp cornstarch
  • Optional: ½ of one seasoning packet from the ramen
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 2-3 green onions, chopped
  • 2 ½ cups pulled rotisserie chicken
  • 4 packs ramen noodles (just the noodle bricks)
  • To serve: a drizzle of sesame oil or chili crisp, green onions, sesame seeds, etc.

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Step 2: In a 9×13 inch baking pan, whisk together the chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, sriracha, sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, cornstarch, and the optional ramen seasoning packet.
  3. Step 3: Stir in the pulled chicken and vegetables until evenly combined with the sauce. Press the four ramen noodle bricks into the top of the mixture; it’s fine if they aren’t fully submerged.
  4. Step 4: Cover the pan with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Carefully flip the noodles over, cover again, and bake for another 10-15 minutes until the noodles separate easily.
  5. Step 5: Stir the noodles into the chicken and vegetable mixture. Return the pan to the oven uncovered and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the liquid is mostly absorbed and sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Step 6: Let the bake rest for about 10 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken further before serving. Garnish with your favorite toppings like sesame oil, chili crisp, green onions, or sesame seeds.

Tips & Variations

  • Use rotisserie chicken for convenience, or shred leftover cooked chicken for this recipe.
  • Swap broccoli and bell pepper for other vegetables like snap peas or mushrooms to suit your taste.
  • If you prefer less heat, reduce the sriracha or omit it entirely.
  • Add a splash of lime juice before serving for a fresh, tangy lift.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven until warmed through. The sauce may thicken further upon standing; add a little extra broth or water when reheating if needed.

How to Serve

A blue rectangular baking dish is filled with a mix of cooked curly ramen noodles, pieces of cooked chicken, green broccoli florets, thin orange carrot strips, and small red bell pepper chunks, all coated in a savory sauce giving a glossy brownish color to the noodles and chicken. The dish is topped with bright green chopped scallions scattered evenly across the surface. A wooden spoon is scooping some of the noodles and vegetables inside the dish. The dish sits on a white marbled surface with a white and green striped cloth napkin next to it, along with a small white bowl containing sesame seeds nearby. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

Scale

Sauce Ingredients

  • 3 ¼ cups chicken bone broth (or regular broth for less protein)
  • ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 3 Tbsp honey
  • 23 tsp sriracha
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 Tbsp rice vinegar
  • 45 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tsp minced ginger
  • 1 ½ Tbsp cornstarch
  • Optional: ½ of one seasoning packet from the ramen

Vegetables & Chicken

  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 23 green onions, chopped
  • 2 ½ cups pulled rotisserie chicken

Noodles & Toppings

  • 4 packs ramen noodles (only the noodle bricks)
  • To serve: a drizzle of sesame oil or chili crisp, green onions, sesame seeds, etc.

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the casserole.
  2. Prepare the Sauce: In a 9×13 inch baking pan, whisk together the chicken bone broth, low sodium soy sauce, honey, sriracha, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, minced ginger, cornstarch, and optional half seasoning packet from the ramen until combined well.
  3. Add Chicken and Vegetables: Stir the pulled rotisserie chicken, broccoli florets, shredded carrots, chopped red bell pepper, and chopped green onions into the sauce mixture in the pan, making sure everything is evenly coated.
  4. Arrange Noodles: Press the four ramen noodle blocks directly on top of the chicken and vegetable mixture. The noodles will not be fully submerged in the sauce, which is expected.
  5. First Bake: Cover the pan with foil and bake for 20 minutes. This steams the noodles and heats the mixture.
  6. Flip Noodles and Continue Baking: Carefully flip the noodle blocks so both sides cook evenly, cover with foil again, and bake for another 10-15 minutes until noodles become tender and easily separate.
  7. Stir and Final Bake: Stir the softened noodles into the chicken and vegetable mixture, then bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes or until most of the liquid has been absorbed and the sauce slightly thickens.
  8. Rest and Serve: Allow the bake to sit for about 10 minutes after removing from the oven. The sauce will thicken further during this resting time. Serve with a drizzle of sesame oil or chili crisp and sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

  • You can adjust the sriracha amount to control the spice level or omit it for a milder taste.
  • Using bone broth adds extra protein and depth of flavor but regular chicken broth works just fine.
  • Feel free to add or substitute vegetables based on what you have on hand.
  • If you prefer gluten-free, use gluten-free ramen noodles and soy sauce alternatives.
  • Letting the dish rest after baking helps thicken the sauce and improves the texture.
