CREAMY CHICKEN AND GNOCCHI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook gnocchi according to package instructions; drain well. Season chicken with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, add chicken to the skillet in a single layer and cook until golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 4-5 minutes per side; set aside. Melt remaining 3 tablespoons butter. Add shallot, and cook, stirring frequently, until tender, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in garlic and thyme until fragrant, about 1 minute. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and wine, and cook, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in half and half until thickened, about 1-2 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in gnocchi and kale until the kale has wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Return chicken to the skillet; sprinkle with Parmesan. Place into oven and bake until bubbly, about 10-12 minutes. Serve immediately.

CREAMY PESTO CHICKEN AND GNOCCHI

Steps:

• Put a pot on the stove with the chicken broth in it and heat to boiling.
• Meanwhile, in a large saute pan, saute the onion in the oil on medium heat until soft. Add the minced garlic and saute for a minute more until fragrant. Add the mushrooms and saute until lightly brown and most of their liquid is evaporated; push to the side of the pan. Add the chicken and saute, stirring often, until just cooked through. Add the soup, the pesto, and the seasonings to the pan and stir to combine everything thoroughly. Reduce heat and simmer gently until the gnocchi are ready.
• When the broth reaches a boil, carefully add the gnocchi and stir to separate. Add extra water if needed to give the gnocchi plenty of liquid. Cook until the gnocchi are done and float to the surface. Using a spider strainer, transfer the gnocchi to the saute pan. Stir gently to coat the gnocchi. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the cooking broth and stir to combine. Serve in pasta bowls with grated parmesan and bread.
