🍽️ Directions
1️⃣ Cook the Ravioli
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook ravioli according to package instructions until tender, then drain and set aside.
2️⃣ Sauté the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces, season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Cook until chicken is browned and fully cooked (about 5–7 minutes).
3️⃣ Make it Creamy
(Optional) Reduce heat to medium, stir in heavy cream and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
4️⃣ Combine Ravioli & Chicken
Add cooked ravioli to the skillet, gently tossing to coat with the creamy sauce and chicken.
5️⃣ Melt in the Cheese
Sprinkle in Parmesan cheese (if using) and stir until melted and the sauce clings to the ravioli.
6️⃣ Taste & Adjust
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or Italian seasoning if needed. Add a pinch more red pepper flakes if you like extra heat.
7️⃣ Serve & Garnish
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil leaves. Optional: drizzle a little olive oil or sprinkle extra Parmesan for an indulgent touch.
