Preparation

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large stock pot, over medium high heat. Add the chicken, thyme, sage, salt and pepper. Sauté for 4 – 8 minutes, or until completely cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the pot. When the butter is completely melted, stir-in the onion, carrot, celery and red bell pepper. Cook the vegetables for 3 – 6 minutes, or until the onions are translucent. Add the garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Increase the temperature to medium high heat. Add the cooked chicken and chicken broth to the pot, and bring to a boil. Carefully stir-in the ravioli and peas to the boiling liquid. Simmer for 5 – 8 minutes, or until the ravioli is cooked through. Makes 6 – 8 servings.
