Ravioli and Peas with Lemon-Parsley sauce
- 1 Chicken Breast
- 2 Tablespoons Butter, Divided Use
- 2 ounces, weight Chopped Bacon
- 9 ounces, weight Ravioli, From The Refrigerator Section
- 2 cloves Garlic, Chopped
- 1/4 cups Parsley, Chopped
- 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 1/2 pints Cream
- 1/2 cups Frozen Peas
- 2 ounces, weight Parmesan Cheese
- Salt And Pepper And Garlic Powder, To Taste
- The dish is actually really simple to make.
- Although, in the picture, there are no peas in the dish.
- All I had was canned peas, and canned peas gross me out.
- I promise frozen peas taste much better!
- First, season your chicken with salt and pepper.
- I got frisky and added garlic powder as well.
- Heat pan on medium-high heat and add a Tablespoon of olive oil or butter or olive oil and butter.
- Whateves.
- You will cook chicken for about 10 minutes, flipping half way through, until no longer pink in the middle.
- While chicken cooks, chop parsley and garlic and grate parmesan.
- Grab a lemon and roll it on a hard surface, putting pressure on the lemon.
- This will make juicing it much easier.
- If you have whole slices of bacon, chop up into small pieces.
- If you are like me, you can use packaged bacon pieces.
- Remove cooked chicken from the pan, chop it up into small pieces and return it to the pan with the bacon.
- Cook on low for a minute or two to release the bacon flavor.
- Move bacon and chicken to a bowl and set aside.
- Heat up a pot of water for boiling the tortellini or ravioli, both work great.
- For the lemon-parsley sauce:
- Add 1 Tablespoon of butter to the same pan you cooked the chicken and bacon in, melt on medium heat.
- Add garlic and cook for about a minute constantly stirring.
- Add parsley and 1 Tablespoon of lemon juice.
- Stir and cook for about 30 seconds.
- Reduce heat to low and add cream.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- You will have to stir sauce periodically.
- Also, do a taste test to see if you need more seasoning, parsley or lemon.
- Now, start boiling your pasta, but keep cooking and stirring the sauce as the pasta is boiling.
- Boil pasta according to package I think it is around 7 minutes.
- Then drain it and return pasta to the pot and turn off the heat on the sauce.
- Add sauce, chicken, bacon and peas into the pot with the pasta.
- Turn heat to low and stir.
- Cook until peas are warmed through.
- Serve with lots and lots of parmesan cheese on top!
