  • 1 wooden spoon or spatula
  • 1 tongs
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 cutting board
  • 4 serving plates

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts About 1.5 pounds.
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes Packed in oil, drained and chopped.
  • 1 cup heavy cream For a lighter version, you can use half and half.
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 16 ounces fresh or frozen ravioli Any filling of your choice.

Instructions
 

  • Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  • Add the sun-dried tomatoes, heavy cream, chicken broth, oregano, and basil to the skillet. Stir well and let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes, until slightly thickened.
  • Mix in the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and combined. Return the chicken to the skillet, coating it in the creamy sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  • Meanwhile, cook the ravioli in a pot of boiling salted water according to package instructions, until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • Serve the chicken over a bed of ravioli, spooning the creamy sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.

Notes

For a lighter version, you can use half and half instead of heavy cream.
Feel free to add vegetables like spinach or mushrooms to the sauce for extra flavor and nutrition.
