Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
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.
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.
In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the ravioli according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
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.
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.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce becomes creamy. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Add the cooked ravioli, sliced chicken, and half of the crumbled bacon to the sauce, gently tossing to coat everything evenly.
Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle the remaining crumbled bacon and chopped parsley (if using) on top as a garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy chicken and ravioli with bacon!
