Garlic Lemon Butter Chicken with Gnocchi - 25 minutes
Chicken tenders and gnocchi sautéed in a garlic, lemon and white wine sauce.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons 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
- 2 cups potato gnocchi
- 3/4 cup white wine or chicken broth
- 1/2 fresh lemon
- 1/4 stick of butter
Instructions
- Put the chicken tenders in the microwave to thaw - if needed. 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 and lemon standing by.
- Add the butter to the pan 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. 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. Put the chicken on your plates and spoon all of the stuff remaining in the skillet all over the chicken and the gnocchi and enjoy your Garlic Lemon Butter Chicken with Gnocchi.
Notes
Of course you could use boneless skinless breasts or thighs instead of tenders,. Just adjust the cooking times as needed.
