I decided to create a blog so that I could share recipes with my family and friends :) I am very family orientated and love to spend time with them any chance I get and most of my close friends, I consider to be like family. This blog will be kept short, simple and fun. I love to cook in the kitchen and try new recipes so if you have any new ones you would like me to try....just email me or comment :)

Chicken & Ravioli Carbonara

YUM YUM YUM!! Thanks to Plain Chicken for this wonderful recipe!! This was the perfect Italian Sunday meal & I can't wait for lunch today..leftovers :)! I doubled the recipe so that it would feed 3 of us for dinner and I could have just enough for lunch the next day. If it is for two of you, then this amount below is perfect!



Ingredients:
1 Tbsp. Olive Oil
1 cup cooked, chopped Chicken
1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning (I used Thyme, Basil and Oregano)
1 clove Garlic
1 package (9 oz) refrigerated Cheese Ravioli (I used Spinach and Cheese Ravioli)
3/4 cup Chicken broth
1/2 cup Half-and-half
4 slices Bacon, cooked and chopped
Parmesan Cheese
Parsley

*I also added Crushed Red Pepper flakes for a hint of spice

What To Do:
  • In a skillet, heat oil over high heat
  • Add chopped up chicken and Italian seasoning to skillet
  • Heat for about 2-3 minutes
  • Add Garlic and cook for another 30 seconds
  • Add broth and ravioli. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to medium
  • Cook uncovered for about 4 minutes (if you double the recipe, cook for about 6-7 minutes)
  • **The broth will have mostly evaporated
  • Stir in half-and-half; reduce heat
  • Simmer uncovered for about 6-7 minutes so that sauce can thicken
  • Sprinkle with bacon, cheese and parsley
*I served all three plates and then sprinkled with bacon, cheese and parsley
