Skillet Ravioli with Chicken



What you need,

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into inch chunks
1 9oz. pkg. Ravioli I used spinach and cheese but any flavor you like would work
2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
8 oz. white button mushrooms, halved
1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
2 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced
2 tbsp. red wine vinegar
1/3 cup low sodium chicken broth
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan Cheese
¼ fresh basil, chopped
Salt and Pepper

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli and cook according to package directions. Drain, toss with a little olive oil and set aside.

Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium high heat. Cook the chicken for 8-10 minutes until well browned and cooked through.

Remove from the pan and set aside.

Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and cook the mushrooms for 4-5 minutes until they start to soften and brown. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add in the tomatoes, garlic and vinegar to the pan and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes soften.  Return the chicken to the pan and add the ravioli and the chicken broth, stir everything to combine.

Simmer for 3-4 minutes until everything is warmed through. 

Stir in the cheese and basil just before serving.
