You might take a little less than 25 minutes to make your Garlic Lemon Butter Chicken with Gnocchi you might take a little more. You will be pretty pleased with how fast you can get it ready to serve. I timed myself and it was on the plates and I was taking pics at 23 minutes. BTW if you want to have it gluten free you can get gluten free gnocchi right there in the pasta section at your grocery store. Gammy has to stay gluten free so we are pretty experienced on the subject.

Olive oil
4-6 Chicken Tenders depending on their size or 2 small breasts or 1 large breast halved
salt and pepper to taste
4 cloves garlic chopped
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley or 1/4 cup dried
2 cups potato Gnocchi
3/4 cup white wine or chicken broth
1/2 fresh lemon
1/4 stick of butter aka 2 tablespoons

And here are the directions for your Garlic Lemon Butter Chicken with Gnocchi

If you need to, put the chicken in the microwave to thaw. Put a skillet on at medium high with a couple of tablespoons of olive oil.

Salt and pepper the chicken tenders or breasts and put them in the skillet.

While they are cooking cut up the parsley and the garlic and have the gnocchi, white wine (or chicken broth) and lemon standing by.

When the chicken is almost done add the butter and when it has stopped foaming put in the chopped garlic, white wine, parsley and the gnocchi. Squeeze in the lemon juice and toss in the rind. Then mix it all together. The chicken will finish cooking as the wine reduces and the gnocchi cooks. Mix everything together a few times as it all cooks.

It will take about 5 minutes for the gnocchi to puff up and get soft, but not mushy, then it all will be ready to enjoy. Spoon all of the remaining stuff from the skillet all over the chicken and the gnocchi.

You could treat yourselves to chilled bottle of Italian Pinot Grigio or Verdicchio white wine and some of Poppop’s easy homemade bread to dip in the sauce because you deserve it!
