Sun Dried Tomato & Chicken “Faux-fredo” with Cheese Ravioli

Summer officially kicked off for us this week & it has been a bit if an adjustment! Home in the mornings and out the door after lunch for summer fun…I start thinking about dinner around 4:30 & 20 minutes from home. Dinner is a distant thought until dinner time! ((Not good!!)) Yesterday, I was determined to have a meal on the table at dinner-time so I ran home between activities, assembled this meal & placed it to a delay-start programmed oven. But these days, it isn’t just about food—it’s about healthier food, lightened up food…swimsuit friendly food. No butter & no cream for this recipe…but you cannot tell, it is so creamy and buttery flavored. I am still watching my carbs so I had mainly chicken & sauce – which was a meal in itself. 

I have really tried to make one meal that will please everyone & this one hit the mark…low-fat, low-carb ((for me sans ravioli)) & FULL-flavor.

I added tomato basil pasta sauce in between the layers of ‘faux-fredo’ because I started thinking about Victoria’s lasagna rolls. I just love the combination of Alfredo and marinara. This simple step added even more flavor and depth…still no additional fat, yay!!

Topped it off with 1/2 c of cheese, covered it with foil & placed it in a pre-programmed oven.
