Ingredients
- 1 lb (450g) chicken breasts, diced
- 1 package (9 oz) ravioli, fresh or frozen
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (drained if using oil-packed)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the Ravioli:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare the Chicken:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the Sauce:
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Bring to a simmer.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce starts to thicken.
- Add the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Combine Everything:
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to coat with the sauce.
- Add the cooked ravioli to the skillet and gently toss to combine, ensuring the ravioli is well coated with the creamy sauce.
- Serve:
- Divide the ravioli among plates or serve family-style in a large dish. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley.
