Creamy One Pan Chicken With Sun-dried Tomatoes and Gnocchi

Prep time: 10 minutes 

Cook time: 25 minutes 

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

•  4 chicken breast

• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs

• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

• 1 tablespoon butter

• 1 tablespoon oil (from the sun dried tomatoes)

• 1 brown onion, finely sliced

• 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped

• 1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes, chopped

• 1 3/4 cups chicken stock

• Simply Wholesome Pantry Creamy One Pot Recipe Base 

• 3 cups spinach

• 2/3 cup parmesan cheese, grated

• Sea salt and cracked black pepper

• 500g gnocchi (from the dried pasta section, not fresh)

Method:

1. Lay out chicken breast between two sheets of baking paper and give them a smash with a rolling pin to even out their sizes and tenderise the meat. Sprinkle over the salt, pepper and then dredge each side of the breast in the panko breadcrumbs. Continue with the remaining breasts.

2. Heat a large frying pan on med/high heat. Add olive oil and butter and let it melt for 30 secs. Then add the chicken breasts. Sizzle and cook on each side for about 4 minutes or until nearly cooked through. Remove and place on a clean plate.

3. To the same frying pan, add the oil from the sundried tomatoes and the remaining butter. Then add the onion, garlic and cook, stirring for about 3 mins. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and stir through for 2 mins. Add the Simply Wholesome Pantry Creamy One Pot Recipe Base and stir through. Then add the stock and bring to the boil. Turn down the heat and simmer, add the gnocchi, place the lid on and let it cook for 6-10 minutes (depending on the gnocchi). Add the spinach and let it wilt down for approx. 3 mins. Then add the grated parmesan and pepper to the pan. Stir through.

4. Place the chicken breast back into the pan and let them heat through for approx. 3 mins. Turn off the heat and serve.
