Adapted from Campbell's Creamy Chili Garlic Ramen with rotisserie chicken, frozen peas, and a bright rice vinegar finish.
Story
I started with [Campbell's Kitchen](https://www.campbells.com/recipes/creamy-chili-garlic-ramen/) and changed it for the kind of Tuesday when my part-time shift ran long. I kept the creamy Campbell's shortcut, then added rotisserie chicken and frozen peas so I was not juggling another pan for dinner. A splash of rice vinegar wakes up the sauce, and the chili garlic stays easy to adjust for my kindergartner and the picky one. Y'all, this is warm, slurpy comfort that gets everyone to the table without a big production.

Ingredients
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp chili garlic sauce
- 1 can (10.5 oz) Campbell's Cream of Chicken Soup
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 3 packages ramen noodles, seasoning packets discarded
- 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Warm the oil in a large pot over medium heat, add the garlic and chili garlic sauce, and cook for 30 seconds.
- Stir in Campbell's Cream of Chicken Soup, broth, and milk until smooth, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Add the ramen noodles and cook for 3 minutes, loosening them with tongs as they soften.
- Stir in the rotisserie chicken and frozen peas, then cook for 3 minutes until hot and tender.
- Mix in the soy sauce and rice vinegar, then taste and add another small spoonful of chili garlic sauce if wanted.
- Ladle into bowls and top with scallions and sesame seeds before serving.
Chef Tips
- **The change:** I adapted Campbell's original with rotisserie chicken, frozen peas, and a splash of rice vinegar for a brighter, more complete bowl.
- Use mild chili garlic sauce for the kids and add extra at the table for grown-up heat.
- Do not overcook the ramen, since it keeps softening in the creamy broth.
- The picky one can have noodles and chicken first, with peas and scallions on the side.
Cook's Notes
- **Adaptation:** Campbell's creamy shortcut gets rotisserie chicken, frozen peas, and rice vinegar for a fuller weeknight bowl.
- **Heat:** Start mild, then add chili garlic sauce at the table.
- **Noodles:** Pull them while springy so they do not turn too soft.
- **Kid plates:** Serve noodles and chicken separately before adding extra sauce or toppings.
