Creamy Garlic Chicken with Ravioli
Ingredients:
For the Chicken:
- Chicken breasts or thighs (boneless): 4 pieces
- Salt and pepper: To taste
- Garlic powder: 1 tsp
- Olive oil: 2 tbsp
- Butter: 1 tbsp
For the Sauce:
- Garlic: 3 cloves, minced
- Chicken broth: 1 cup
- Heavy cream: 1 cup
- Parmesan cheese: ½ cup, grated
- Tomato paste: 1 tbsp
- Italian seasoning: 1 tsp
- Red pepper flakes: ¼ tsp (optional)
For the Ravioli:
- Cheese or spinach ravioli: 1 lb (450g)
- Fresh basil or parsley: For garnish
Instructions:
- Cook the Chicken:
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken on both sides until golden brown, about 4–5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Prepare the Sauce:
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Stir in the chicken broth and tomato paste, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir well and let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
- Cook the Ravioli:
- While the sauce simmers, cook the ravioli according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Combine Chicken and Ravioli:
- Return the seared chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Simmer for an additional 5–7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C).
- Add the cooked ravioli to the skillet and gently toss to coat them in the sauce.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Plate the chicken and ravioli, spooning extra sauce over the top.
- Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and serve warm
