What You’ll Need
-
25 oz bag frozen cheese ravioli
-
2 cups cooked shredded chicken (a rotisserie bird works like a charm)
-
1 jar (16 oz) Alfredo sauce
-
1½ cups shredded mozzarella
-
1 cup grated Parmesan
-
1 tsp Italian seasoning
-
15 oz container ricotta cheese
-
Chopped parsley, optional, for a little garnish if you’re feelin’ fancy
How to Make It
-
Grease your slow cooker — just a little cooking spray or olive oil will do.
-
Pour a little Alfredo sauce in the bottom, just enough to cover it.
-
Add half the ravioli straight from the freezer (no need to thaw).
-
Mix the shredded chicken with some Alfredo sauce, then spoon half of it over the ravioli.
-
Add dollops of ricotta, then sprinkle on half the mozzarella, half the Parmesan, and a pinch of Italian seasoning.
-
Repeat the layers with what’s left.
-
Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 6 hours, until everything is hot, bubbly, and smells like heaven.
-
Let it cool for 10 minutes, then dig in! Sprinkle with a little parsley if you like.
My Notes & Swaps
-
No ricotta? No problem. Cottage cheese works, or just leave it out.
-
Want it meatless? Add sautéed mushrooms or spinach instead of chicken.
-
Feeling spicy? Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
-
No slow cooker? You can bake this in a 9×13 dish at 350°F for 35–40 minutes.
What to Serve with It
I usually throw together a quick salad with lemon vinaigrette and pop a loaf of garlic bread in the oven. Steamed broccoli or roasted green beans are lovely too — helps balance the richness.
