Ingredients
  

For the Ravioli:
  • 1 pound frozen ravioli (use your favorite variety)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 pieces chicken breasts (boneless and skinless, cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes (chopped)
  • 6 pieces green onions (chopped)
  • ½ cup fresh parsley (chopped)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated, plus extra for serving)

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Pot
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Knife and cutting board

Method
 

Cooking Instructions:
  1. Start by bringing a pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add the frozen ravioli and cook according to the package instructions. Generally, this takes about 4-5 minutes. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the bite-sized chicken pieces with salt, pepper, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  4. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, along with the drained ravioli. Gently toss everything together to ensure the ravioli are coated in the creamy sauce. Stir in the chopped green onions and parsley. Allow it to simmer for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.
  5. Sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until it melts into the sauce. This adds an extra layer of richness and flavor. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes if desired.

Notes

  • For a pop of nutrition, add spinach or kale to the sauce in the last few minutes of cooking.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, let it simmer longer to reduce the liquid.
  • Reserve extra Parmesan for serving—it's a delightful finishing touch!
