CHICKEN & GNOCCHI IN CREAMY PARMESAN SAUCE



Chicken & Gnocchi in Creamy Parmesan Sauce image

I had some leftover gnocchi in the freezer from the last time I made zuppa toscana with gnocchi and I didn't know what I wanted to do with it so I came up with this. It was a good choice! ;)

CREAMY PESTO CHICKEN AND GNOCCHI



Creamy Pesto Chicken and Gnocchi image

This came to me one night when I was craving gnocchi. I let it bounce around in my head for a couple of weeks before I made it. My husband swears it was definitely worth the wait. The sauce is creamy and smooth, coating the chicken and gnocchi with a wonderful pesto flavor without the oiliness of straight pesto. Try it with garlic bread or multi-grain bread and butter.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 quart chicken broth or 1 quart stock, plus water
2 tablespoons olive oil or 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
1 medium onion, diced
1 large garlic clove, minced
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken, cut into 1 to 1 1/2 inch cubes
1 (10 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
3/4 cup basil pesto
1 teaspoon sundried tomato and basil seasoning (like Sbarro) or 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
salt and pepper
1 (16 ounce) package potato gnocchi
grated parmesan cheese, for serving

Steps:

  • Put a pot on the stove with the chicken broth in it and heat to boiling.
  • Meanwhile, in a large saute pan, saute the onion in the oil on medium heat until soft. Add the minced garlic and saute for a minute more until fragrant. Add the mushrooms and saute until lightly brown and most of their liquid is evaporated; push to the side of the pan. Add the chicken and saute, stirring often, until just cooked through. Add the soup, the pesto, and the seasonings to the pan and stir to combine everything thoroughly. Reduce heat and simmer gently until the gnocchi are ready.
  • When the broth reaches a boil, carefully add the gnocchi and stir to separate. Add extra water if needed to give the gnocchi plenty of liquid. Cook until the gnocchi are done and float to the surface. Using a spider strainer, transfer the gnocchi to the saute pan. Stir gently to coat the gnocchi. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the cooking broth and stir to combine. Serve in pasta bowls with grated parmesan and bread.

CHICKEN PARMESAN IN CREAM SAUCE



Chicken Parmesan in Cream Sauce image

This recipe is not your usual chicken Parmesan! Instead, chicken tenders are coated in a mixture of freshly grated Parmesan cheese and Italian-seasoned panko crumbs, fried to a golden brown, and finished in a lovely cream sauce. A side of pasta would be good with this, or try mashed potatoes. A green vegetable and a salad will complete this dinner menu, nicely!

Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 pounds chicken breast tenders
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
1 ½ cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup Italian-seasoned panko bread crumbs
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
parchment paper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided, or more as needed
2 tablespoons olive oil, or more as needed
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
2 cups heavy cream
chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Steps:

  • Pat chicken tenders dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Place flour on a shallow plate. Place beaten eggs into a shallow bowl. Combine grated Parmesan cheese, Italian-seasoned panko crumbs, and 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, and place on a second shallow plate.
  • Cover a dinner plate or platter with parchment paper.
  • Dip each lightly seasoned chicken breast tender in flour, shaking off the excess. Next, dip in beaten egg, and hold the tender over the eggs to allow excess to drip back into the bowl. Place each tender on the panko mixture. With dry fingers, scoop panko mix over the tender, patting the crumbs in. Place on the parchment-covered plate.
  • Repeat with remaining chicken tenders, until all tenders are breaded with flour, egg, and panko mix.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until butter is bubbling. Add tenders, 1 at a time, being careful not to crowd the skillet. You may need to cook chicken in 2 batches. Cook until breading is browned and chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 3 to 4 minutes per side, being careful not to burn the breading.
  • Turn tenders when the crust is nicely browned and continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Adjust heat down a notch or two, if the crust is getting too brown, and add a bit more oil or butter, if the skillet looks dry. Remove cooked chicken to a cooling rack.
  • Add garlic to the skillet, and stir until garlic is fragrant, 30 to 45 seconds. Deglaze skillet with white wine, stirring up all the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Season Italian herb seasoning blend and red pepper flakes.
  • Stir in cream and heat over medium high. Bring sauce to a boil, stirring frequently, and adjust flavor with salt and pepper, if needed. Allow sauce to bubble until desired consistency is achieved, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Return cooked chicken tenders to the skillet and warm in the sauce, about 1 minute.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley.
