Instructions:
-
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
-
Saute the boneless skinless chicken breast in the heated oil for approximately 4 minutes or until browned; then, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside for later use.
-
Add the chicken broth and ravioli to the skillet, allowing them to mingle and absorb the flavorful essence.
-
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the skillet and let it simmer for about 4 minutes, or until the ravioli reaches the desired tenderness.
-
While the ravioli cooks, prepare the zucchini by slicing it into thin, uniform pieces, ensuring even cooking and optimal flavor distribution.
-
Once the ravioli is tender, introduce the zucchini slices and any additional vegetables of your choice, such as red pepper, to the skillet.
-
Return the sauteed chicken to the skillet, allowing all the ingredients to meld together in a symphony of flavors.
-
Continue to cook over medium-high heat for approximately 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the veggies reach a crisp-tender consistency and the chicken is no longer pink in the center.
-
Now, it’s time to elevate the dish with the star ingredient – basil pesto! Add the basil pesto to the skillet, gently tossing to coat all the ingredients in its aromatic goodness.
-
For that final touch of decadence, season the dish with salt and pepper to taste, enhancing the flavors and bringing everything together harmoniously.
-
To add a finishing flourish, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese generously over the top of the dish, adding a delightful nuttiness and richness that perfectly complements the vibrant flavors of the pesto, chicken, and vegetables.
-
Serve your Pesto Ravioli with Chicken hot and fresh from the skillet, allowing everyone to indulge in the irresistible aroma and tantalizing flavors.
