HERB & BALSAMIC CHICKEN & RAVIOLI SKILLET

Steps:

• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli and cook as the label directs. Drain, then drizzle with oil and toss. Set aside and keep warm.
• Meanwhile, sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, undisturbed, until beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring, about 1 more minute. Transfer to a plate (the chicken will not be cooked all the way through at this point).
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the skillet. Add the mushrooms and cook, undisturbed, until browned in spots, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and continue to cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 more minutes. Return the chicken and any collected juices to the skillet. Add the Tuscan Style Herb & Balsamic Cooking Sauce, half of the parsley, 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan and 2 tablespoons water. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened, about 4 minutes.
• Nestle the ravioli into the skillet. Sprinkle with the remaining parsley and Parmesan. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper.

• Meanwhile, add the spinach, grapes and shallots to a large bowl. Drizzle in the oil, lemon juice and honey and toss. Season with salt and pepper.
• Arrange the pork chops on a serving platter. Top with the spinach and grape salad and sprinkle with the blue cheese.
