Common Questions
- → Can I use frozen ravioli for this dish?
Yes, refrigerated or frozen ravioli works well. Just cook ravioli until al dente according to package instructions before combining with the sauce.
- → What can I substitute for chicken breast?
Rotisserie chicken, turkey, or leftover cooked poultry make great alternatives and save preparation time.
- → How do I make the sauce thick and creamy?
Cooking butter with flour forms a roux, which thickens when gradually whisking in broth and milk. Simmer until it reaches a creamy consistency.
- → Can I add other vegetables to the bake?
Absolutely, sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or broccoli can be added to customize flavors and textures.
- → What baking dish size is recommended?
A 9x13-inch baking dish works best to evenly spread the mixture and achieve optimal cooking and browning.
