Chicken Alfredo Baked Ravioli (Printable Version)
Creamy baked ravioli casserole with chicken, Alfredo sauce, and golden melted cheese topping.
# What You’ll Need:
→ Chicken
01 - 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
→ Ravioli
02 - 18 oz fresh or refrigerated cheese ravioli
→ Alfredo Sauce
03 - 2 cups Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
04 - 1/2 cup whole milk
→ Cheese
05 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
06 - 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
→ Seasonings & Garnish
07 - 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
08 - 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
09 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
# Directions:
01 - Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
02 - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ravioli according to package directions, usually 3-5 minutes. Drain well in a colander.
03 - In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked ravioli, chicken, Alfredo sauce, milk, Italian seasoning, and black pepper. Mix gently to coat everything evenly without breaking the ravioli.
04 - Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Spread evenly. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
05 - Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for 20 minutes to heat through and meld flavors.
06 - Remove the foil and bake an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
07 - Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to thicken slightly. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
# Top Tips:
01 -
- It comes together in under fifteen minutes of active prep but tastes like you spent all day cooking
- The combination of tender ravioli, seasoned chicken, and three cheeses hits every comfort button in one bite
02 -
- Do not overcook the ravioli during boiling since they will continue cooking in the oven and nobody wants mushy pasta
- Letting it rest for those five minutes before serving is the difference between a cohesive slice and a sloppy mess on the plate
03 -
- Grate your own Parmesan instead of using the pre-shredded stuff for way better melting and flavor
- Place the baking dish on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any bubble-overs and save your oven from cleanup
