Ingredients
for the chicken:
- 2 tablespoons oil from the sun-dried tomatoes jar or regular vegetable frying oil
- 1 lb (450g) chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon basil
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
for the sauce:
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 medium onions
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1/2 tablespoon flour
- 1/3 cup (80ml) dry white wine
- 1 cup (240ml) chicken broth
- 3/4 cup (180ml) heavy cream
- 1/8 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 cup (45g) grated parmesan cheese
- 1/3 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
additionally:
- a large handful fresh spinach
- 1 lb (450g) potato gnocchi
Instructions
- Cook the gnocchi according to package instructions. I had fresh gnocchi, so I pan-fried them for 2-3 minutes until browned. You can also boil them for 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
- Prepare your ingredients: cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces, chop the onion, finely chop the garlic (do not use a garlic press or the garlic flavor may be too harsh), chop the sun-dried tomatoes into smaller pieces, grate the Parmesan, wash and dry the spinach.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, spices (basil, oregano, paprika, onion and garlic powder), salt and pepper. Add the chicken and toss to coat.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. When hot add the chicken and cook until browned on both sides (it doesn't have to be completely cooked through). You can cook it in 1 batch or if you want to get a better browning on the chicken, cook it in two batches. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
- Add the butter and onion to the pan. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add the tomato paste and 1/2 Tbsp of flour. Cook for a minute.
- Add the wine. Cook for a couple of minutes over medium heat until almost evaporated.
- Add the broth, cream, and paprika. Cook for a couple of minutes until the sauce is thickened.
- Add the parmesan and sun-dried tomatoes. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the sauce is thickened a little bit more. Season the sauce with salt and pepper if needed.
- Add the chicken back to the pan and cook in the sauce until cooked through (if the chicken was already cooked through, add it with cooked gnocchi and spinach).
- Add the cooked gnocchi and spinach. Cook over low heat for about a minute or until the spinach is wilted.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- This dish comes out 'saucy' because this is how we like it. If you'd like less sauce you can add 3/4 cup of broth and 1/2 cup of heavy cream.
