Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray or oil.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and cook the frozen cheese ravioli according to the package instructions until just al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the marinara sauce and heavy cream. Stir in garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Spread 1/3 of the marinara mixture on the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.
Arrange half of the cooked ravioli in a single layer over the sauce.
Sprinkle half of the shredded chicken evenly over the ravioli.
Add 1/3 of the marinara mixture over the chicken and sprinkle with 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.
Repeat the layers: add the remaining ravioli, followed by the remaining chicken, another 1/3 of the marinara mixture, and 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.
Top the casserole with the grated Parmesan cheese and spread it evenly over the surface.
Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the casserole is heated through.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and extra flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy your comforting Ravioli Chicken Casserole!
