Marry Me Chicken and Ravioli
Ingredients:
For the Marry Me Chicken:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried thyme (or Italian seasoning)
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (in oil, drained)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp fresh basil, chopped (optional)
For the Ravioli:
1 package (about 9 oz) refrigerated ravioli (cheese or spinach ravioli works great)
1 tbsp butter (optional)
Fresh parsley or Parmesan for garnish (optional)
Preparation:
Cook the Chicken:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and thyme.
Place the chicken in the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Make the Sauce:
In the same skillet, add the heavy cream, chicken broth, and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Return the Chicken to the Skillet:
Place the cooked chicken back into the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for another 5-7 minutes, allowing it to absorb the flavors. Optionally, garnish with fresh basil for extra flavor.
Cook the Ravioli:
While the chicken is simmering, cook the ravioli according to the package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water. Usually, it takes about 4-5 minutes for ravioli to float to the surface and be done.
Drain the ravioli and set aside. If desired, toss them with a little butter to keep them from sticking.
Serve:
Serve the chicken breasts over the cooked ravioli, spooning extra sauce from the skillet over the top. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley if desired.
Enjoy! This Marry Me Chicken and Ravioli is a rich, indulgent dish that's both comforting and flavorful. The creamy, sun-dried tomato sauce perfectly complements the tender chicken, and the ravioli adds a deliciously satisfying element to the meal!
