Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon sun-dried tomato oil
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup shallot, chopped
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish
- 1 package cheese ravioli (18 ounces)
- 2 cups fresh spinach
Instructions
- Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and chop the shallot.
- Heat the sun-dried tomato oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
- Add the butter, shallots, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, Italian seasoning, and smoked paprika. Cook while stirring constantly for about 4 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken broth, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese. Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
- Add the ravioli, reduce the heat to medium, and cover the skillet. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the ravioli is tender.
- Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Serve warm with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
Notes
- Use chicken thighs instead of chicken breast for extra richness.
- Swap cheese ravioli for spinach or mushroom ravioli for a different flavor.
- Add mushrooms, zucchini, or bell peppers for extra vegetables.
- Replace part of the heavy cream with milk or half-and-half for a lighter sauce.
- Add crushed red pepper flakes for extra heat.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave with a splash of broth or cream.
- Freezing is not recommended because the sauce and ravioli texture may change.
