Total Time 25 minutes
Servings 2

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tsps Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 tbsps Shallot (diced)
  • 8 ozs Chicken Breast (boneless, skinless, cubed)
  • 1 1/2 cups Mushrooms (sliced)
  • Sea Salt & Black Pepper (to taste)
  • 1/2 cup Ricotta Cheese

  • 1/2 Lemon (juiced)

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the shallot and sauté for two to three minutes, or until softened.
  • Add the chicken and mushrooms to the pan. Season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned.
  • Meanwhile, combine the ricotta, roasted red peppers, lemon juice, and garlic in a blender. Blend until smooth, adding a splash of water if the sauce is too thick to blend.
  • Pour the ricotta mixture into the pan. Stir well, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer for five to seven minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and everything to cook through.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Divide evenly between bowls and top with parsley. Enjoy!
