Creamy Garlic Herb Chicken over Ravioli 🍝✨
Ingredients:
For the Chicken:
🍗 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
🧂 Salt and black pepper to taste
🌿 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
🧈 2 tablespoons olive oil
🧈 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
For the Sauce:
🧄 4 cloves garlic, minced
🌿 1 teaspoon dried basil
🌿 1 teaspoon dried parsley
🌶️ 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
🥣 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
🥛 1 cup chicken broth
🥛 1 cup heavy cream
🧀 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
For the Ravioli:
🍝 1 package (16 oz) cheese or spinach ravioli (fresh or frozen)
Optional Garnishes:
🌿 Fresh parsley, chopped
🧀 Additional grated Parmesan
Directions:
1️⃣ Cook the Chicken:
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove from the skillet and set aside.
2️⃣ Make the Creamy Garlic Herb Sauce:
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the basil, parsley, and red pepper flakes (if using). Sprinkle the flour over the garlic and stir for 1 minute to create a roux.
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
3️⃣ Prepare the Ravioli:
While the sauce simmers, cook the ravioli according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
4️⃣ Combine and Serve:
Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the creamy sauce over it to warm through for 1-2 minutes.
Serve the chicken over a bed of cooked ravioli, drizzling additional sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
