Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 474kcal
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 400 g Chicken breast cut into chunks
- 500 g Gnocchi
- 375 ml Chicken stock
- 100 ml Skimmed milk
- 4 Sun-dried tomatoes chopped
- 10 Cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 150 ml Reduced fat crème fraîche
- 30 g Parmesan grated
- 5 g Fresh parsley finely chopped
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon Olive oil in a large pan and add 400 g Chicken breast (diced). Cook for 7-8 minutes.
- Add 500 g Gnocchi and cook for a couple of minutes.
- Add 375 ml Chicken stock, 100 ml Skimmed milk, 4 Sun-dried tomatoes, 10 Cherry tomatoes and 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning. Mix well and simmer for 4 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and add 150 ml Reduced fat crème fraîche, 30 g Parmesan and 5 g Fresh parsley (chopped).
Notes
- Use a wide pan rather than a deep saucepan if possible. A wider surface helps the sauce reduce properly in the short simmer time and prevents the gnocchi from sitting in too much liquid.
- Do not cook the chicken fully in the first step. If it is fully cooked before the simmer stage, it is more likely to turn dry by the time the dish is finished.
- Always add the crème fraîche after turning off the heat. This is one of the most important details in the recipe because it keeps the sauce smooth and creamy and not seperated.
- If the sauce thickens more than you want while standing, loosen it with a splash of hot stock or milk before serving.
- Season carefully at the end. Parmesan adds salt, so it is better to taste once the cheese has gone in before adding more.
