Ravioli with Rotisserie Chicken and Toasted Walnuts
Using pre-cooked rotisserie chicken saves a ton of time, making this a pretty impressive weeknight dinner that you can still whip together in about 30 minutes.
Servings 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 rotisserie chicken prepared by your local grocery store
- 1 package of frozen cheese ravioli I used Roundy's brand, which was 25 oz
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt + black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons dried minced onion
- 2 teaspoon thyme
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2.25 oz package of chopped walnuts
- Shredded Parmesan cheese optional
Instructions
- Begin by bringing a pot of water to boil for the ravioli.
- Separate the chicken and cut it into bite sized pieces.
- Melt the butter with the olive oil in a pan.
- Add walnuts and garlic, sauteing both in butter until the walnuts are lightly toasted and the butter begins to brown.
- Add chicken and all remaining spices to walnut butter mixture.
- Add ravioli to boiling water and cook according to package directions. (The Roundy's brand cooks in 3 minutes.)
- Stir chicken into walnut butter mixture and heat until the chicken is heated through.
- Drain ravioli and return to pot.
- Add chicken, walnut, and browned butter mixture.
- Plate and top with shredded Parmesan cheese, if desired.
