Ingredients
To make this flavorful One-Pot Ravioli dish, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- Ravioli (I’m using ricotta and spinach ravioli)
- Boneless skinless chicken thighs
- Chicken broth/water
- Tomato paste
- Spinach
- Onion
- Low fat sour cream
- Garlic cloves
- Oil
- Seasonings: paprika, granulated garlic, Italian seasoning, salt and black pepper
Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables and Chicken
Begin by gathering all your ingredients for a streamlined cooking experience.
- Chop the Vegetables: Slice the onion into thin strips, mince the garlic cloves, and dice the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. Have everything ready before you start cooking to ensure a smooth preparation process.
Step 2: Sauté the Chicken and Vegetables
In a large pot or deep skillet, heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
- Cook the Aromatics: Once the oil is shimmering, add the sliced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-4 minutes until fragrant and the onions turn translucent.
- Add the Chicken: Incorporate the diced chicken into the pot along with your seasonings. Stir everything together, cooking for about 3-5 minutes.
Step 3: Create the Sauce and Incorporate the Ravioli
Next, it’s time to make the sauce.
- Mix in the Sauce Ingredients: Stir in 1 tablespoon of tomato paste, followed by 1 cup of chicken broth (or water) and a couple of tablespoons of sour cream. Mix well to combine, then cover the pot. Let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Cook the Ravioli: After the sauce has thickened slightly, gently add the ravioli to the pot. Cook for about 2 minutes, then fold in the fresh spinach. Continue to cook for another minute or so, stirring occasionally, until the spinach wilts and the ravioli is heated through.
Step 4: Garnish and Serve
To finish, serve the dish hot in bowls or plates.
- Add the Finishing Touches: Garnish each serving with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of fresh basil, if desired.
