Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • 1 package cheese ravioli

Optional Substitutions

  • Use coconut cream for a dairy-free alternative.
  • Substitute spinach with kale for added texture.
  • Gluten-free ravioli options are available for dietary needs.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning.

Step 2: Sear the Chicken

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked. Set aside.

Step 3: Create the Sauce

Using the same skillet, sauté sun-dried tomatoes for 2-3 minutes. Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.

Step 4: Add the Spinach

Toss in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.

Step 5: Cook the Ravioli

While the sauce is simmering, cook the cheese ravioli according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 6: Combine Everything

Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the creamy sauce over it. Let everything heat through for 2-3 minutes.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy!

Plate the ravioli, place the chicken on top, and drizzle with extra sauce. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.

Notes

  • Use sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil for a richer flavor.
  • Ensure your skillet is hot before searing the chicken to lock in moisture.
  • Save some pasta water to thin the sauce if it becomes too thick.
