DESCRIPTION
This easy one pan lemon chicken gnocchi recipe has tender chicken pieces, peas and soft gnocchi nestled in a lemon and parmesan cream sauce.
INGREDIENTS
2 tbsp olive Oil
Ground black pepper
4 chicken breasts, cut into strips
1 onion, finely diced
3 garlic cloves, crushed
250ml cream
400ml low salt stock
A good handful of basil leaves, roughly torn
1 spring of rosemary, finely chopped
Zest of 1 lemon
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp cornflour
400g store bought gnocchi
40g grated Parmesan
100g peas
METHOD
1. Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a high sided pan over a medium heat. Season the chicken with black pepper and cook, turning occasionally, about 4-5 minutes each side until cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
2. Heat another 1 tbsp olive oil over a medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
3. Add the stock, cream, basil, rosemary, lemon zest, and juice and bring to a simmer. Meanwhile blend 1 tsp of cornflour with 1 tbsp of water in a little bowl to make a smooth paste. Add the paste to the cream sauce and allow to thicken slightly.
4. Add in the gnocchi, give a good stir and ensure the gnocchi is submerged in the liquid. Let it bubble gently, uncovered for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the gnocchi is cooked.
5. Finally add in the Parmesan, peas and chicken back to the pan and cook for a final 2 minutes and serve.
