Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 9 oz. Package refrigerated cheese-filled ravioli
  • 8 oz. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 Cup Chicken broth
  • 1/4 Cup Belgioioso parmesan snacking cheese, grated , divided
  • 1 Slice Bacon
  • 2 Tbsp Fairlife 2% milk
  • 2 Tbsp Heavy whipping cream
  • 2 Tbsp Fat-free Italian salad dressing , divided
  • 1/2 Tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions
 

  • 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)
  • While the chicken is in the refrigerator, cook your bacon until crispy. Drain and, when cooled, crumble. Set aside.
  • 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.
  • Clean the pan with a paper towel, then return it to medium-high heat. Add the broth, milk, cream, 3 tablespoons of the Parmesan cheese, and 1 tablespoon of Italian dressing. Whisk and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and add the chicken and the drained ravioli to the pan. Cook uncovered until raviolis are tender and most of the broth has evaporated.
  • 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.
