Ingredients

• 20 ounces Cheese ravioli
• 2 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 cup Pesto (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 4 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ravioli according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside to cool slightly before slicing into thin strips.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the pesto and heavy cream, reducing the heat to low. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is well combined and heated through.

Step 6

Add the cooked ravioli to the skillet, gently tossing to coat them with the pesto sauce.

Step 7

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 8

Divide the pesto ravioli among serving plates, top with the sliced chicken, and garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your Pesto Ravioli with Chicken!
