InstructionsÂ
- Cut chicken into 1/2-inch strips and place in a 1 qt. resealable plastic bag with 1 tablespoon of the Italian dressing. Mix and refrigerate for 20 minutes. (See Notes)

- Cook cheese ravioli in boiling water in a medium saucepot, only until al dente. Drain. Set aside.
- After marinating in a medium frying pan, over medium-high heat, add the chicken and the Italian dressing marinade. Brown chicken in the pan, about 1 minute each side. Add chicken to the drained ravioli pot.

- Remove from the pan and plate. Sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon cheese, 1/2 of the crumbled bacon, and 1/2 of the parsley on each serving.
Notes
Don’t marinade the chicken strips for longer than 2 hours, or the chicken will become mushy.
