Italian Chicken Ravioli Recipes

ITALIAN CHICKEN RAVIOLI SOUP

Steps:

• Cook ravioli according to package directions. Cook until al dente, 1 minute less than directed. Careful not to overcook ravioli as it will cook in hot soup too. Drain and set aside. Place olive oil in large pot over medium heat. When hot, add onion, carrot, celery and garlic to pot. Cook and stir until softened, about 8-10 minutes. Stir in chicken broth, chicken, cooked ravioli, dressing seasoning, salt, pepper and Parmesan cheese. Stir and reduce heat to simmer. Stir in parsley and simmer until ready to serve. Serve warm with rolls for dipping. Garnish each bowl of soup with additional shredded Parmesan Cheese.

CHICKEN PARMIGIANO AND RAVIOLI

Steps:

• For the marinara sauce, preheat a saucepan on medium heat and add 3 tablespoons oil. Once the oil begins to move around, add onion and cook, stirring, until it becomes translucent. Add garlic and let simmer for 2 minutes, then stir. Add tomatoes, basil, salt and pepper. Stir ingredients and let cook on medium-low heat, stirring often, for about 2 hours. Low and slow wins the race...
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• For the chicken cutlets, spread flour in a plate. Spread breadcrumbs in another plate. Put eggs in a bowl and beat until thoroughly combined for the egg wash. Butterfly and separate each chicken breast into 2 pieces, then pound to your desired thickness. Dredge each individual piece in the flour on both sides, then dip in egg wash and coat it entirely with egg. Place in breadcrumbs and press firmly on both sides, pounding lightly to ensure each side is coated.
• Add remaining 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil to a saute pan on medium heat and have a plate ready with paper towels. Test oil to see if ready by adding a speck of flour; once it is ready, the flour will sizzle. Place breaded cutlets in oil in batches and cook until golden brown on each side. Remove chicken to paper towels to absorb excess oil.
• Lightly coat a cookie sheet with marinara sauce, then place chicken on top. Top each piece with more marinara sauce, then generously cover with mozzarella. Bake until cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.
• Cook and plate your favorite ravioli, then cover ravioli with marinara sauce and place two pieces of delicious Chicken Parmigiano on top of ravioli. Garnish with parsley. Enjoy!
