Ingredients
 
 

  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil divided
  • 2 cups fresh string beans chopped into 2-3" pieces
  • 1/2 medium onion cut into strips (julienne)
  • 1/2 16 oz. pkg. potato gnocchi
  • 4 cloves garlic chopped
  • 1 large boneless skinless chicken breast cut into filets
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese for garnish (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil or parsley - for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Put two skillets on with three tablespoons of EVOO in each one. Set one of them at medium high for the chicken and the other one at medium for the string beans and gnocchi. Cut the ends off the string beans then cut them into halves or thirds. Put them into their skillet and sprinkle with a little salt and black pepper. Add the onion and the gnocchi. Toss a couple of times to get everything coated with the oil and a few more times as they cook.
  • Salt and pepper one side of the chicken filets - or tenders - then put them in the skillet with the seasoned side down. Salt and pepper the other side and cook for about 3-5 minutes a side until they are firm to a poke and/or the juice runs clear when they are stabbed with a fork. Lower the heat to medium, move the filets creating a bare spot. Put a pat of butter on the bare spot and add the chopped garlic. Just cook the garlic until it starts to get translucent.
  • The string beans onions and gnocchi should be done by now. If the gnocchi is soft and quite warm to the touch and the onions are translucent it's show time.
  • Spoon the garlic and butter onto the filets and garnish with some grated parmesan and some chopped basil or parsley. Your whole quick and easy Garlic Chicken String beans and Gnocchi dinner is ready to serve.
