Instructions
Coarsely chop the basil and mint (tonight's choice). Cut the stem end off the tomatoes and cut them in half lengthwise then use a teaspoon to scrap out the core and the seeds. Then chop em up.
Put a pot of water on at high for the gnocchi and add a some salt. When the water boils add the gnocchi. In about 2 minutes they will float. When they float they are done. Strain them leaving a little water in the pot. Put the gnocchi back in the pot and drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil. Put the pot on an idle burner or in the oven set on warm or 225° while the chicken progresses.
Put a skillet on at medium and add the olive oil. In a shallow dish mix together the flour, garlic powder salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken filets in the flour mixture and put them in the skillet. Cook just enough for the flour to get golden. They are gong to finish cooking in the wine. Remove them to a dish that will catch the drippings.
Put the butter in the pan and use a wooden spoon to scrap the bits off the bottom.
Add the white wine and mix it in, Put the chicken and the drippings in the skillet and turn them over a few times as the wine reduces by about a third.
When the wine has reduced and thickened a little add the fresh green herbs and turn the filets a few more times to get them coated.
As the chicken is progressing rescue the Gnocchi pot and put it on a burner set at medium low. Add the tomatoes and the spinach. Add the grated parmesan and stir it all together as it reheats a little.
Then put the fillets on the plates and spoon some of the wine mixture on top. Add the gnocchi and top it all off with some grated parmesan and enjoy your Chicken Sautéed in White Wine and your potato gnocchi.
