Grilled Chicken & Raviolis

Since I have been grilling a lot of chicken for use during the week, I have been looking for good recipes that are quick and simple.  This one is not only both quick and simple, but gives you a burst of Summertime as well...I have been using the refrigerated Tortellini lately and they work great!

Grilled Chicken Breast with Raviolis and Citrus Cream Sauce


INGREDIENTS
Grilled chicken - ~1 breast per person
1 Stick butter - melted
3 Sprigs Rosemary - finely chopped
1 Tbsp. flour
1/2 Lemon - Juice and zest of ~1/4 of lemon
1/2 c White wine or Chicken Broth
1/2 c Heavy cream
Fresh ground pepper to taste.
1 pkg. fresh Cheese Raviolis or Tortellini

DIRECTIONS
In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat, then add chopped rosemary.
Stir in flour just to make sure sauce will slightly thicken.
Add in lemon juice, zest, pepper and white wine.  Reduce slightly ~2 min. then add cream.
Gently simmer until the sauce is thickened and heated through stirring often to make sure the sauce doesn't stick to the bottom of the saucepan.

Cook raviolis per package and serve on a platter/large pasta bowl.

Slice chicken to desired thickness, and spread neatly over raviolis, then pour sauce over chicken and raviolis.  Garnish with thinly sliced lemon pieces and a couple of sprigs of rosemary.
