• Extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons
• Chicken stock, 500ml
• Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless), 600g
• Fresh spinach, 200g
• Ricotta cheese, 250g
• Parmesan cheese, 100g (grated)
• Butter, 50g
• Garlic, 2 cloves
• Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation Time:

• 45 minutes

Cooking Time:

• 15 minutes

Difficulty Level:

• 3 (Moderate)

Preparation Method Steps:

1. Make the dough: Combine the flour, eggs, and olive oil in a bowl. Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
2. Cook the chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Add them to a large skillet over medium heat and cook until browned on both sides. Transfer the chicken to a plate and let it cool slightly.
3. Make the filling: Shred the cooked chicken. Combine the chicken, spinach, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, butter, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix well.
4. Assemble the ravioli: Divide the dough into two equal parts. Roll out one part into a thin sheet. Place dollops of the filling at regular intervals on the dough. Roll out the remaining dough and place it over the filling. Use a ravioli cutter or a knife to cut the ravioli into squares or desired shapes.
5. Cook the ravioli: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the top.
6. Serve: Drain the ravioli and transfer them to a serving dish. Top with your favorite sauce, such as a simple marinara or a creamy sauce made with chicken stock and Parmesan cheese.
