Gnocchi

Chicken and Vegetables

Gorgonzola Cream Sauce

Method

Cooking Gnocchi

  1. 1

    Boil the Gnocchi

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook according to package instructions or until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Preparing Chicken and Vegetables

  1. 2

    Sear the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest.

  2. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sliced cremini mushrooms. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender. Add the fresh baby spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.

Making the Gorgonzola Cream Sauce

  1. 4

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat. Once warmed, add the gorgonzola cheese and Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and smooth. Add nutmeg and mix well. Simmer for a few minutes until slightly thickened.

Assembling the Dish

  1. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Slice the seared chicken into strips. In a large serving bowl, combine the drained gnocchi, sautéed mushrooms and spinach, and the gorgonzola cream sauce. Toss gently to combine. Top with sliced chicken and serve immediately.
