Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breast, boneless and skinless
• 450 grams Cheese ravioli, fresh or frozen
• 6 slices Bacon
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon slices and cook until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then crumble into small pieces. Set aside.

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and cook the chicken over medium-high heat, about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden and fully cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.

Step 3

In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the ravioli according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet used for the chicken, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter and remaining olive oil. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Let the mixture simmer gently for 3-4 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.

Step 6

Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce becomes creamy. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Step 7

Add the cooked ravioli, sliced chicken, and half of the crumbled bacon to the sauce, gently tossing to coat everything evenly.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle the remaining crumbled bacon and chopped parsley (if using) on top as a garnish.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy chicken and ravioli with bacon!
