Here is a quick mid week pasta meal that does not have many ingredients, does not take a lot of time and tastes great. I did actually get the idea for this from a zarr members recipe but I wanted something a little quicker than the original recipe listed, if you want want to see the original recipe please click here. I also changed some of the ingredients, that is why I am not listing it as theirs as I changed it a bit. I thought the ingredients were good but felt the final result just a touch bland so I added a couple of ingredients to adjust for our taste.

Ingredients

4 Garlic cloves, Crushed
Packaged fresh gnocchi enough for 4 people
1 Tablespoon oil
4 Chicken Breasts
11/2 tablespoons butter
1/4 Cup sour cream
1 Teaspoon chicken stock granules
100ml Cream, or extra if it does not seem saucy enough
1/2 Cup fresh dill, finely chopped
1/2 Cup green onions, sliced thinly
Black pepper to taste

Method

1. Heat oil in a large pan, brown chicken on both sides, cook, until almost cooked through, remove from pan and set to one side.

2. Melt butter in same pan, add garlic and onions cook about 1 minute until onion softens, stirring constantly so you do not burn the garlic.

3. Add both creams,chicken stock and dill stir to combine, return chicken to pan, cover pan and finish cooking chicken and warm through.

4. Whilst chicken is finishing bring some water to a boil in a saucepan, add gnocchi and cook until tender, about 3-4 Min’s, drain.

5. Remove chicken and slice thickly.

6. Add drained gnocchi to sauce and combine add pepper to taste.

Serve sauced gnocchi on plates, top with chicken and divide any remaining sauce equally atop the chicken breasts.

Sprinkle with parmesan cheese if desired.
