Ingredients
 
 

  • olive oil
  • 2 6-8 oz. boneless skinless chicken breast
  • salt and black pepper
  • 10 - 12 fresh scallions chopped or half of a medium onion chopped
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 1/2 cup gnocchi
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 4-6 cloves garlic coarsely chopped
  • 2 rounded tbsp. fresh sage leaves coarsely chopped or 3/4 tbsp. dried
  • 1/2 fresh lemon
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3/4 cup white wine

Instructions
 

  • One skillet at medium heat with about 1/8" of good extra virgin olive oil. Another skillet at medium high with about 2-3 tablespoons of regular olive oil. Just eyeball enough to coat the bottom of the skillet plus a little more.
  • While the pans are getting hot clean and chop up the scallions - or onions - and put them in the medium heat extra virgin skillet and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Stir or toss them a few times as they cook.
  • Salt and pepper the up side of the chicken breasts and put them in their skillet with the seasoned side down and then salt and pepper the new up side. While it's all cooking coarsely chop up the garlic and the sage leaves.
  • When the scallions just start to get translucent add the peas and the gnocchi. Spread it all out and add enough chicken broth to just barely get up to the top of the gnocchi. Turn the heat up to medium high until it starts to simmer then lower it to medium. Mix it all together and stir or toss it all a few more times and when the gnocchi is okay to a nibble test it all is ready to serve. If the chicken skillet is still busy just lower the heat as low as it can go so it will keep warm.
  • Give the chicken breasts about 3-5 minutes a side depending on the thickness. When they are leaking clear liquid and/or are firm to a finger poke or better yet if they read 165° on a meat thermometer they are done. Remove them to a shallow bowl that will catch the drippings. Put the butter, lemon juice with the rinds, sage and garlic into the chicken skillet. Using a wooden spoon stir it all together while scraping the bits left from the chicken off the bottom. As soon as the garlic gets fragrant - about a minute - add the white wine and stir it all up. Put the breast and the drippings back in the skillet to warm back up and spoon the liquid and the veggies over the breasts. Turn them over a couple of times through the process.
  • You did great!! Some sage advice here - sorry - you and your honey really should finish that bottle of white wine with the results of your easy chicken breast recipe.
