CREAMY SKILLET CHICKEN



Creamy Skillet Chicken image

One humble skillet has four jobs in this easy weeknight meal: it sears, sautes, simmers and steams. The cleanup is so minimal, your dishwasher will be out of work!

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Four 6-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
One 8-ounce container sliced mushrooms
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 ounces cream cheese, cut into chunks
1 cup half-and-half
One 10-ounce package of baby spinach (about 8 cups)
Warm egg noodles, for serving

Steps:

  • Whisk together the flour, 1 tablespoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a pie plate or shallow dish. Coat both sides of the chicken breasts in the flour. Shake off any excess and set aside.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook, undisturbed, until deeply golden, about 3 minutes. Turn the chicken and cook, undisturbed, until the other side is deeply golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to brown and release their liquid, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Add the cream cheese and stir until melted. Then pour in the half-and-half. Use a wooden spoon to scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken back to the skillet, cover and cook, turning about halfway through, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter filled with warm egg noodles. Add the spinach to the skillet, cover and cook until wilted, about 5 minutes. Stir to combine and season with salt and pepper. Pour the creamy spinach sauce over the chicken and noodles.

HERB & BALSAMIC CHICKEN & RAVIOLI SKILLET



Herb & Balsamic Chicken & Ravioli Skillet image

Think of this weeknight meal as an Italian-inspired chicken and dumplings. Simmered in an herb and balsamic sauce, it's a recipe small on ingredients and big on flavor.

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.

RAVIOLI WITH CHICKEN SAUSAGE AND KALE



Ravioli with Chicken Sausage and Kale image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Kosher salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 11-ounce package fully cooked Italian-flavored chicken sausages, sliced on an angle about 1/2 inch thick
1 small onion, chopped
Freshly ground pepper
1 cup cherry tomatoes
3 cloves garlic, chopped
4 cups refrigerated mozzarella ravioli (from a 20-ounce package)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3 cups baby kale
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
1/2 cup torn fresh basil
2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausages and cook, turning once, until browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Move to one side of the skillet and add the onion to the other side; season with salt and pepper. Stir together with the sausages and cook until the onion is softened, 3 to 4 more minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and garlic; cook until the tomatoes brown and soften, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the ravioli to the boiling water and cook as the label directs. Transfer to the skillet with the sausage mixture using a slotted spoon; reserve the cooking water. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to the ravioli and stir well, then add 1/2 cup cooking water and the butter. Cook, tossing, until the ravioli are well coated and saucy, adding up to 1/2 cup more pasta water as needed. Stir in the kale to wilt, then remove from the heat. Add the Parmesan, basil and parsley; toss to combine.
  • Divide the ravioli among bowls; top with more Parmesan and season with pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose the right skillet: A large, deep skillet with a lid is ideal for cooking the chicken and ravioli together.
  • Sear the chicken first: Searing the chicken before adding the ravioli helps to create a flavorful crust and prevent the chicken from becoming dry.
  • Use a good quality marinara sauce: The marinara sauce is a key ingredient in this dish, so be sure to use a sauce that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Don't overcook the ravioli: Ravioli only takes a few minutes to cook, so be careful not to overcook them or they will become mushy.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked, while the chicken and ravioli are still hot and the sauce is bubbly.

Conclusion:

This skillet chicken and ravioli recipe is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken or ravioli. With its simple ingredients and delicious flavor, this dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
