Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Kosher salt
One 9-ounce package cheese ravioli
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into chunks
Freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces white mushrooms, quartered
1/2 cup Food Network Kitchen™ Inspirations Tuscan Style Herb & Balsamic Cooking Sauce
1/3 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan
Large pinch crushed red pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli and cook as the label directs. Drain, then drizzle with oil and toss. Set aside and keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, undisturbed, until beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring, about 1 more minute. Transfer to a plate (the chicken will not be cooked all the way through at this point).
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the skillet. Add the mushrooms and cook, undisturbed, until browned in spots, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and continue to cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 more minutes. Return the chicken and any collected juices to the skillet. Add the Tuscan Style Herb & Balsamic Cooking Sauce, half of the parsley, 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan and 2 tablespoons water. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened, about 4 minutes.
  • Nestle the ravioli into the skillet. Sprinkle with the remaining parsley and Parmesan. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper.
