Chicken And Gnocchi Bake With Broccolini Recipes

BAKED GNOCCHI WITH CHICKEN

Steps:

• Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Heat the olive oil in a deep ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate and wipe out the skillet.
• Melt the butter in the skillet over medium heat; add the flour and cook, whisking, 3 minutes. Whisk in the milk and chicken broth until smooth; simmer, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Whisk in 1/2 teaspoon salt and the nutmeg.
• Add the chicken, mushrooms, gnocchi and spinach to the sauce and stir until coated and the spinach wilts. Sprinkle with the parmesan, transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until bubbling, about 20 minutes. Turn on the broiler; broil until lightly browned on top, about 3 more minutes.

CREAMY CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI GNOCCHI

Steps:

• In a large, deep frying pan, sauté the chicken in a splash of olive oil until golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.
• In the same pan, fry the onion and garlic until translucent and fragrant.
• Add the broccoli and cook for a minute or two before adding the chicken stock and cream.
• Add the chicken back to the pan and allow the sauce to cook and reduce for 7-10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
• Add the lemon juice and season to taste.
• Add the cooked gnocchi stir to combine.
• Serve topped with grated parmesan cheese (optional).

CHICKEN-AND-BROCCOLINI MAC AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Shred chicken. Cook noodles in a pot of boiling salted water 3 minutes. Add Broccolini; cook until noodles and Broccolini are al dente, 2 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water. Drain noodles and Broccolini; toss with chicken, sauce, pasta water, and cheddar. Transfer to baking dish.
