Ingredients Needed for One Pan Chicken Ravioli Bake
- Ground Chicken – You’ll need one pound of ground chicken for this recipe. You can use ground turkey or ground Italian sausage if you prefer.
- Aromatics – You’ll need diced sweet onion and minced garlic for this recipe.
- Avocado Oil – The avocado oil is used to sauté the sweet onion and garlic. It also helps prevent the ground chicken from sticking to the pan.
- Seasoning – You’ll season this dish with kosher salt, cracked black pepper, red pepper flakes and garlic powder.
- Baby Spinach – You’ll need 3-4 ounces of fresh baby spinach for this recipe. Option to remove the stems.
- Sauce / Chicken Broth – You’ll need one cup of your favorite store-bought sauce for this recipe. You’ll also need between ¼ – ½ cup of chicken broth. If the sauce if very thick use ½ if it is thinner, you’ll only need ¼ cup. This also helps to soften the ravioli.
- Ravioli – I used one 10-ounce bag of Rana spinach and ricotta ravioli. No need to precook the pasta. The pasta will cook in the sauce / broth.
- Mozzarella Cheese – Top this dish with shredded mozzarella cheese before placing it in the oven to bake.
- Garnishes – Serve this dish with freshly chopped parsley, grated parmesan cheese and extra red pepper flakes.
How to Make One Pan Chicken Ravioli Bake
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Add avocado oil to an oven safe sauté pan. Add the ground chicken. Season it with kosher salt, cracked black pepper, red pepper flakes, and garlic powder. Once it begins to brown, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Saute for 3-4 minutes or until translucent. Next, add the spinach.
Once the spinach begins to wilt, add the red sauce and chicken broth to deglaze the pan. If your red sauce is on the thinner side, use about ¼ cup broth, if your sauce is thicker, add about ½ cup of broth. Stir well.
Next, add the ravioli. Toss the ravioli in the sauce until they are well coated. Try to nestle them into the sauce so they are covered.
Top the dish with shredded mozzarella cheese and bake for 15-20 minutes. Once the cheese is melted and the dish is hot, remove it from the oven. Top with chopped Italian parsley, red pepper flakes, and grated parmesan cheese. Serve hot and enjoy.
How to Store
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for three to four days. Reheat in the microwave until warmed through.
