Another Chicken recipe, yes, but Chicken is inexpensive and when served with some form of pasta is an excellent raw weather meal that stays with you.

PESTO RAVIOLI WITH CHICKEN

4 servings

Prep: 15 Min Cook: 15 Min

 

2 tsps olive or vegetable oil

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast strips for stir-fry

3/4 cup chicken broth

1 package (9 oz refrigerated  cheese-filled ravioli

3 small zucchini, cut into ¼ inch slices

1 large red bell pepper, thinly sliced

¼ cup basil pesto

Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, if desired

 

Heat oil in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat.  Cook chicken in oil about 4 minutes turning occasionally, until brown.  Remove chicken from skillet.  Add broth and ravioli to skillet.  Heat to boiling; reduce heat.  Cover and simmer about 4 minutes or until ravioli are tender.  Stir zucchini, bell pepper and chick into ravioli.  Cook over medium-high heat about 3 minutes stirring occasionally, until vegetables are crisp-tender and chicken is no longer pink in center.  Toss with pesto.  Sprinkle with cheese.

You can make this pasta dish without the chicken.  Just omit the first step, and consider using sausage-filled ravioli for added flavor.  Cut the pesto down to 3 tbsp.  Be sure to use a 12-inch skillet, or you’ll have a difficult time tossing the chicken, ravioli and vegetables with the pesto.
