  2. Cook the Ramen Noodles: In a pot, bring salted water to a boil and add ramen noodles. Cook for 3-5 minutes until al dente. Drain and rinse briefly under cold water.
  3. Make the Creamy Sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Stir in heavy cream, and allow it to bubble. Add Parmesan cheese, cayenne, and chili powder, whisking until smooth.
  4. Combine Everything: Return chicken to the skillet with creamy sauce, tossing to coat. Fold in the cooked ramen noodles and let everything cook on low heat for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Plate the ramen in warmed bowls. Squeeze lime juice over the top and garnish with more Parmesan or chili flakes if desired.
