Equipment
- skillet
- wooden spoon
- serving plate
Ingredients
- all-purpose flour
- large eggs
- salt
- water
- ricotta cheese
- chicken breast
- parmesan cheese
- garlic
- salt and black pepper
- basil leaves
Instructions
- On a clean surface, create a mound with the flour. Make a well in the center and crack the eggs into it. Add salt.
- Using a fork, gradually incorporate the flour into the eggs until a dough forms. If the dough seems dry, add a little water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- In a bowl, combine the finely shredded chicken, ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are incorporated.
- Divide the rested pasta dough into smaller portions. Roll out one portion of the dough into a thin sheet using a pasta machine or a rolling pin. The sheet should be thin but not too delicate to handle.
- Place small dollops of the chicken filling onto the pasta sheet, leaving enough space between each portion.Carefully place another sheet of pasta over the filling. Press around each portion of filling to remove air pockets and seal the edges.
- Use a ravioli cutter or a sharp knife to cut out individual ravioli. Place the finished ravioli on a floured surface or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil.Carefully drop the ravioli into the boiling water. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until the ravioli float to the surface and are tender yet slightly al dente.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked ravioli from the water and transfer them to serving plates.
- Serve the chicken ravioli hot and enjoy the delicious homemade taste.

Notes
- If you don't have cooked chicken breast on hand, you can cook a chicken breast by boiling it in water until fully cooked, then shred it finely for the filling.
- Feel free to customize the filling by adding herbs like basil or parsley for additional flavor.
- Be careful not to overfill the ravioli to avoid them bursting open during cooking.
