About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 14 oz chicken breast
- 1 1/10 lb gnocchi
- 6 bacon
- 1 onion
- 1 3/10 cup hot chicken stock
- 0.42 cup single cream
- 2 3/5 oz cheddar
- 2 clove garlic cloves
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tbsp Italian herbs
- to taste salt & pepper
Instructions
- 1Place the diced bacon in a cold, medium‑sized skillet; turn the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the fat renders and the bacon becomes crisp, about 5‑6 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a plate, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.
- 2Add the diced chicken breast to the hot bacon fat. Cook, stirring, for 2‑3 minutes until the pieces start to brown.
- 3Add the diced onion, minced garlic, paprika, and Italian herbs to the pan. Continue to sauté for another 4‑5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion softens and the mixture is fragrant.
- 4Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
- 5Increase the heat to medium‑high and pour in the hot chicken stock. Bring the liquid to a gentle boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- 6Stir in the single cream, mixing thoroughly to create a smooth sauce. Reduce the heat to a simmer.
- 7Add the gnocchi to the simmering sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5‑6 minutes until the gnocchi float to the surface and are tender.
- 8Sprinkle the grated cheddar over the gnocchi and sauce. Stir gently until the cheese melts completely and the sauce becomes glossy.
- 9Return the crispy bacon to the pot, folding it into the creamy gnocchi mixture.
- 10Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- 11Remove the pan from heat and let the dish rest for 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- 12Serve the creamy chicken and bacon gnocchi directly from the pot, optionally garnishing with a little extra grated cheddar or a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
