Chicken and Ramen Stir Fry
Ramen is such a classic! It can be as simple or as fancy as you want. It doesn’t always have to be in soup form either! Ramen noodles are awesome for stir-fries, with a protein of your choice, tons of veggies and a simple sauce.
This chicken and ramen noodle stir fry is easy to make with quick-cooking ramen, healthy chicken breast and lots of added vegetables. It tastes like takeout in the best way possible, while still being gluten-free, soy-free, and it can even be modified to be paleo and AIP.
The Ingredients
- Chicken Breast
- Coconut Aminos, Apple Cider Vinegar, Arrowroot Starch & Coconut Sugar: For the sauce!
- Avocado Oil:You can swap other oils like olive or coconut, if you prefer.
- Yellow Onion
- Broccoli, Zucchini & Baby Bok Choy
- Ginger & Garlic
- Salt & Black Pepper: Omit pepper for AIP.
- Noodles: UseLotus rice ramen for gluten-free, orsweet potato glass noodles for Paleo/AIP.
- Green Onion & Sesame Seeds: To garnish! Omit sesame seeds for AIP.
- Make Sauce: Prepare the sauce by using a small bowl to whisk the coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, sugar, and arrowroot together. Set aside.
- Cook Chicken: Using a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the chicken to the pan and lightly season with salt, and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through to 165 F. Set aside.
- Cook Vegetables: Add the onions, ginger, and garlic to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes or until the onions are slightly translucent. Add more cooking fat if needed. Add the broccoli, bok choy, and zucchini to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes or until tender. Set aside.
- Make Noodles: Set a large pot of water on the stove to boil. Once the water is boiled, add the ramen to the pot and cook as directed, until the ramen noodles are cooked. Drain the water and rinse the noodles in cold water.
- Combine & Serve: Using the same large skillet, combine the chicken, vegetables, cooked ramen, and sauce. Stir on low heat for 2-3 minutes to coat the stir fry in the sauce. Season further to taste. Serve topped with green onion and sesame seeds.
How do you make this ramen stir fry paleo and AIP?
The gluten-free ramen I love to use isn’t grain-free, so I suggest using sweet potato glass noodles to make this AIP/paleo. It’s not exactly the same, but tastes just as hearty and delicious!
Can you make this recipe ahead of time? What’s the best way to reheat it?
You can! I think the best way to reheat it is to heat it in a pan for just a few minutes until warm.
Can I use different vegetables in my stir fry?
Totally! You can be super creative with the vegetables you use in this! Feel free to swap out or add different veggies in this.

Made this today and it turned out amazing. My husband and I love stir fry but I am currently on the AIP diet and I can’t have all the yummy sauce ingredients that usually make stir fry so good. This recipe is such a good replacement and you can hardly taste the difference form the original stir fry sauce. THANK YOU THANK YOU!
