Steps:
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli and cook as the label directs; drain, then drizzle with olive oil and toss.
- Meanwhile, season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken; cook, undisturbed, until beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring, 1 more minute. Transfer to a plate.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the skillet. Add the mushrooms and cook, undisturbed, until browned in spots, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and continue to cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 more minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, garlic and vinegar and cook until the tomatoes begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Return the chicken to the skillet, then add the ravioli, broth and Parmesan; bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through, about 4 minutes. Top with the parsley.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium high heat. Add diced chicken and cook until slightly browned (about 5-6 minutes). Add in the broccoli florets, garlic, and salt. Cook until broccoli has softened slightly, about 2-3 minutes. Remove chicken and broccoli from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk the flour into the butter and cook until the mixture is golden, about 2-3 minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk and bring the mixture to a simmer then stir in 1 cup of mozzarella and all of the parmesan. Let simmer until the cheese has melted and sauce has thickened. Add in the chicken and broccoli mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Lay half of the ravioli in a single layer (overlapping slightly if necessary) on the bottom of the baking dish, then top with half of the remaining sauce. Repeat with remaining ravioli and remaining sauce. Top with remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese and bake 25-30 minutes until sauce is bubbly and ravioli are tender.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350; spray/grease a 13x9 pan, set aside.
- 2. Cook chicken breasts in water in a saucepan (I usually add some cooking sherry) OR use leftover grilled/roasted chicken meat. Cut into bite-size pieces; set aside.
- 3. While chicken is cooking, prepare ravioli according to pkg instructions--but leave them a bit firm as they continue cooking in the oven; drain, rinse and place ONE LAYER in prepped pan.
- 4. In a separate bowl, mix alfredo sauce, chicken pieces (if used) & drained mushrooms; pour HALF over the pasta in the pan. **I also added enough water to swish out the alfredo jar--probably about a half cup?--to be a bit juicier sauce.**
- 5. Sprinkle with about 1/3 of the cheese; add remaining pasta in a layer, cover with remaining sauce-chicken-mushroom mixture. FINISH with remaining cheese.
- 6. Bake for 30-45 minutes until bubbly. Serve immediately.
- 7. ALTERNATIVE: Add coarsely chopped & sauteed onion to kick up the flavor buds!
