Mushroom Ravioli with boneless chicken breast.

I was wanting to make some pasta but wasn't sure what kind. After looking up some recipes I decided to make Mushroom Ravioli with chicken breast. I went to Trader Joe's to buy all the ingredients I needed. It was my first time going there and I honestly thought it was going to be  expensive but I was wrong. This was my first time cooking this meal and I had some help from my mother who I shared it with. This meal took me less than an hour and everything that I used was low on sodium,carbs etc which i think it taste much better. I think its good to shop in Trader Joe's because the food quality is great and the prices are too.

What you'll need to make this meal is:
- 1 package of Fresh thin boneless/skinless breast.
- Mushroom ravioli with truffle sauce
- Soy Sauce (reduced sodium)
- Extra virgin Oil
- Alfredo sauce with romano and parmesan cheese 
- 1 red, 1 yellow, and 1 green peppers
- half  onion
- half clove of garlic




To cook the chicken breast:

-1 teaspoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of blackpepper, 1 teaspoon of oregano and 1 teaspoon of cumin
-2 teaspoon of trader joe's reduced sodium soy sauce.
-2 cloves of garlic
-half of an onion
- 1 teaspoon of vinegar (your choice).
- 2 teaspoon of extra virgin oil.



For the mushroom ravioli's :

- 4 cloves of garlic
- scallions
- chopped green and red peppers
- 1 teaspoon of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of soy sauce
- half of the Alfredo Sauce



I really enjoyed making this meal and I felt like I was eating healthier. I probably will consider visiting Trader Joe's more often.  I see this project fitting into the theme of the course because other supermarkets sell food that are concentrated on hormones and preservatives and those are the kind of food we look for, but we don't realize that organic supermarket have better qualities and which is much healthier and to me it taste much better. My mother also agreed she enjoyed the meal as well.


The Final outcome : Mushroom ravioli with chicken breast
