Equipment

  • 1 Large skillet
  • 1 Pot for boiling ravioli
  • 1 Ladle or spoon
  • 1 Cooking tongs
  • 1 Cutting board

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts About 1.5 lbs.
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped About 6 oz.
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 12 oz fresh or frozen cheese ravioli
  • to taste pieces fresh basil leaves For garnish, optional.

Instructions
 

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet.
  • Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 6-7 minutes until fully cooked (the internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
  • In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  • Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  • Add the Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning, stirring until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly.
  • While the sauce is cooking, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli and cook according to package instructions, usually around 3-5 minutes. Drain the ravioli and set aside.
  • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, nestling it in the sauce. Allow it to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  • Serve the Marry Me Chicken over a bed of ravioli. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.

Notes

You can use any type of ravioli you prefer, such as spinach, mushroom, or butternut squash.
For a lighter version, substitute the heavy cream with half and half or a non-dairy cream alternative.
This dish pairs well with a crisp green salad or garlic bread.
