Chicken & Gnocchi Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Make the Gnocchi

   In a large bowl, mix the flour and grated Parmesan. Create a well in the center and add the eggs. Mix until a dough forms, then knead gently until smooth. Roll into small logs and cut into bite-sized pieces.

2. 2

   Cook the Gnocchi

   Boil a large pot of salted water. Drop the gnocchi in batches; they are done when they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

3. 3

   Prepare the Chicken

   Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat and cook the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove and let rest, then slice.

4. 4

   Make the Sage Butter

   In the same pan, melt the butter and add the fresh sage leaves. Cook until the butter is golden and the sage is crispy.

5. 5

   Prepare the Watercress Salad

   Toss the watercress with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.

6. 6

   Make the Preserved Lemon Gel

   Blend the preserved lemon with a little water until smooth. Strain if desired to remove pulp.

7. 7

   Assemble the Dish

   On a plate, lay down the sliced chicken, top with gnocchi, drizzle with sage butter, and serve with the watercress salad and preserved lemon gel on the side.
