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).

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.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of herbs and spices: This will give your chicken a more complex and flavorful taste. Some good options include rosemary, thyme, sage, oregano, basil, garlic and paprika.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will not cook evenly. Make sure there is enough space between each piece of chicken so that it can cook properly.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from burning. If you cook the chicken over high heat, it will brown too quickly on the outside and be undercooked on the inside.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken: The chicken is done cooking when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. If you do not have a meat thermometer, you can also check to see if the chicken is cooked by cutting into it. The chicken is done cooking when the juices run clear.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Herbed balsamic chicken breasts are a delicious and easy-to-make dish. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and impressive dish that your family and friends will love.
