Marry Me Chicken Gnocchi by Jon Watts

Ingredients

• 2 chicken breasts, diced into bite-sized pieces
• 1 onion, diced
• 4 cloves garlic, chopped
• 500g gnocchi
• 2 tbsp sun-dried tomato paste
• 250ml chicken stock
• 200ml double cream
• 40g parmesan, grated
• 25g fresh basil, torn
• 1 tbsp olive oil (for frying)
• 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat and sear the chicken pieces until golden brown and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes.
2. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside, then add the diced onion to the same pan, sautéing for 3–4 minutes until softened.
3. Stir in the chopped garlic and sun-dried tomato paste, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Pour in the chicken stock and double cream, stirring well to combine, then bring to a gentle simmer for 3 minutes.
5. Add the gnocchi and the cooked chicken back into the pan, simmering for 3–5 minutes until the gnocchi is tender and the sauce has thickened.
6. Stir in the grated parmesan and torn basil, then serve immediately with extra parmesan on top.
