Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked chicken breast or rotisserie chicken - shredded or minced
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese or ricotta cheese - ricotta is more traditionally Italian but the texture isn't as smooth cream cheese makes for a smoother filling
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Pinch of salt & black pepper
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Finely shred or mince cooked chicken breast, depending on what pasta you are using it as a filling for.
  • Add chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese or ricotta cheese, garlic, salt and pepper and Parmesan cheese to bowl.
  • Mix together the filling mixture and use in whatever pasta you are planning.
  • For ravioli, place small amount of mixture in the center of the rolled and cut out pasta and wet the edges with a little warm water.
  • Place another cut out on top and press down around the sides to seal the ravioli, make sure you get a good seal or the filling will come out when you boil them.
  • Bring salted water to a boil and place raviolis into water for 2-3 minutes or until they float.
  • Remove with a slotted spoon to drain.
  • Optional - for a browned butter sauce: melt 6 tablespoons butter in pan until it is just brown and and pour over cooked raviolis, Top with more Parmesan cheese, drizzle a little olive oil, salt and pepper to taste, and add some fresh basil.
  • Or top with favorite red, white, pink, or pesto sauce.
  • Enjoy!
