Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (16-ounce) package cauliflower potato gnocchi
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1 medium shallot, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup dry white wine*
1/2 cup half and half
1 bunch kale, stems removed and leaves torn into bite-sized pieces
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan, about 2 ounces

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook gnocchi according to package instructions; drain well. Season chicken with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, add chicken to the skillet in a single layer and cook until golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 4-5 minutes per side; set aside. Melt remaining 3 tablespoons butter. Add shallot, and cook, stirring frequently, until tender, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in garlic and thyme until fragrant, about 1 minute. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and wine, and cook, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in half and half until thickened, about 1-2 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in gnocchi and kale until the kale has wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Return chicken to the skillet; sprinkle with Parmesan. Place into oven and bake until bubbly, about 10-12 minutes. Serve immediately.

CREAMY HERB AND GARLIC CHICKEN OVER GNOCCHI



Creamy Herb and Garlic Chicken over Gnocchi image

This is a very quick and easy recipe to throw together, it tastes great and makes for a wonderful after work dinner or great mid week meal when you want no fuss. You can make your own gnocchi if you prefer, but for quickness of this recipe I used fresh store bought gnocchi, you can find this in the fresh pasta section of most supermarkets. For those of you who have never eaten gnocchi before or do not know what it is, a quick explanation is basically Italian dumplings, made from either potato, semolina or flour.

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

olive oil
4 chicken breasts
1 -1 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, combined with
1 -1 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley, to sprinkle over breasts
800 g gnocchi
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tablespoons dry white wine
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon instant chicken bouillon granules
300 ml cream
2 tablespoons fresh oregano, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Sprinkle combined garlic and parsley on both sides of all the breasts. Heat some olive oil in a large frying pan and cook chicken, uncovered, about 20 minutes or until cooked through.
  • Meanwhile pour some water in a pan add a little olive oil and bring to the boil.
  • While you are waiting for the water to boil, add a little oil to another saucepan, add garlic, cook, stirring, about 1 minute, Add wine to pan, to deglaze, evaporate all liquid, add lemon juice and the stock, stir.
  • Pour cream in and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, simmer uncovered, about 5 Min's until sauce thickens slightly. (If you want it thicker just add a little cornstarch I prefer a more thin sauce when it is more like a pasta dish.) Stir in oregano, keep warm over a low heat while you cook the gnocchi.
  • Once the water is boiling add gnocchi and cook as per packet instructions, mine was only 3 minutes; drain.
  • While gnocchi is cooking remove breasts from pan, cut chicken into slices.
  • To Serve: Divide gnocchi among serving plates, top with sliced chicken, drizzle with sauce.

GNOCCHI WITH GORGONZOLA SAUCE



Gnocchi with Gorgonzola Sauce image

Gorgonzola continues to age as it is stored in the refrigerator, intensifying in piquancy as it does. To slow this process down, wrap the cheese tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the coldest part of the refrigerator. This sauce is a good way to use leftover Gorgonzola cheese.

Yield makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Potato Gnocchi (page 170)
Salt
1/2 cup Chicken Stock (page 74) or canned reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces Gorgonzola
1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Steps:

  • Make the gnocchi.
  • Bring 6 quarts of salted water to a boil in an 8-quart pot over high heat. (If you plan to cook the gnocchi as soon as they are formed, put the water on to boil while the riced potatoes are cooling. If you are cooking previously frozen gnocchi, make sure the water is boiling before you remove the gnocchi from the freezer.)
  • Bring the stock, cream, and butter to a boil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season lightly with salt and pepper and boil until the sauce is lightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the Gorgonzola until dissolved.
  • Drop the gnocchi into the boiling water a few at a time, stirring gently and continuously with a wooden spoon. Cook just until they rise to the surface and roll over, 2 to 3 minutes. If the skillet is large enough to accommodate the sauce and gnocchi, gently scoop the gnocchi out of the boiling water with a large wire skimmer and add them directly to the sauce in the skillet. If not, drain the gnocchi gently, return them to the pot, and pour in the sauce. Bring the sauce and gnocchi to a boil, stirring gently to coat the gnocchi with sauce. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the grated Parmigiano-Reggiano. Check the seasoning, adding salt if necessary. Serve immediately in warm bowls.

ROSEMARY-GARLIC ROASTED CHICKEN AND GNOCCHI



Rosemary-Garlic Roasted Chicken and Gnocchi image

The classic combination of chicken, potatoes, rosemary, garlic and lemon dazzles in this sheet-pan meal. Standing in for the potatoes are shelf-stable potato gnocchi, which offer many textures at once when roasted instead of boiled: pillowy-soft, crisp and chewy. Squeeze some lemon right onto the sheet pan, and as you scrape up the schmaltzy, garlicky bits, the juices and drippings glaze the gnocchi, leaving no drop of the chicken's renderings wasted. It's hard not to eat the gnocchi right from the pan, but if you can wait, serve everything alongside a green salad.

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 to 3 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (6 to 8 pieces)
Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
Black pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
6 garlic cloves, finely grated
1 tablespoon chopped rosemary (from 2 sprigs)
2 (12- to 18-ounce) packages shelf-stable potato gnocchi
1 lemon

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Pat the chicken dry, then transfer to a sheet pan and season all over with 1½ teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper. In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic and rosemary with a fork. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Add the oil mixture and the gnocchi to the chicken. Toss with your hands to coat, massaging the garlic and rosemary into the chicken and gnocchi. Arrange the gnocchi in an even layer, and place the chicken skin side up on top of the gnocchi. Roast until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Transfer the chicken to plates and finely grate the zest of half the lemon over the chicken. Squeeze the juice of half the lemon onto the gnocchi (about 1½ tablespoons), then use a spoon to scrape up the browned bits on the sheet pan and toss the gnocchi in the lemon juice and pan drippings. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cut the remaining lemon into wedges. Eat the chicken with the gnocchi and a lemon wedge for squeezing over.

Tips:

  • For the creamiest sauce, use a high-quality Gorgonzola cheese.
  • Roast the garlic until it is soft and caramelized. This will add a delicious flavor to the sauce.
  • Use a variety of mushrooms for a more complex flavor. Shiitake, oyster, and cremini mushrooms all work well in this dish.
  • If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk or half-and-half instead. However, the sauce will be thinner.
  • Garnish the dish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives, for a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

This gnocchi and chicken dish is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The roasted garlic and Gorgonzola cream sauce is rich and flavorful, and the chicken and gnocchi are cooked to perfection. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
