Description

This Cheezy Gnocchi with Chicken, Mushrooms & Broccoli is a great weeknight dinner dish. We love everything with a thick cheesy crust! ;P


Ingredients

Scale

some olive oil for frying
1 small broccoli, cut into florets
10.6 oz. (300g) chicken breast, diced
9 oz. (250g) brown mushrooms, sliced
1 large onion, finely diced
1 tsp. dried thyme
1/3 cup (80ml) dry white wine
1 cup (250ml) veggie broth
7 oz. (200g) sour cream
4.4 oz. (125g) cream cheese
17.6 oz. (500g) gnocchi (refrigerated)
7 oz. (200g) mozzarella, grated
salt, pepper


Instructions

1. Cut the broccoli into small florets. Bring a large pot with salted water to a boil and blanch the broccoli for about 3-4 minutes. You want the broccoli to still have a bite. Drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside.

2. Clean the chicken breast and cut it into bite-size pieces. Clean the mushrooms and cut them into slices. Peel the onion and dice finely. Keep all other ingredients ready for cooking.

3. Heat up a Dutch oven or large frying pan and add some oil. Fry the chicken breast cubes for about 4-5 minutes until nicely browned all over. Remove and set aside on a plate. If needed, add a bit more oil, then add the sliced mushrooms and cook/fry them for about 3-4 minutes until they have lost a lot of their volume. Next, add the onions and let them cook/fry with the mushrooms for another 3-5 minutes – both, mushrooms and onions should be nicely browned. Add the thyme and stir in.

4. Deglaze the mushrooms and onions with the white wine. Allow the wine to cook down almost completely, then add the veggie stock, sour cream, and cream cheese. Mix until well combined. Return the chicken to the Dutch oven/frying pan, reduce the heat a bit and let everything simmer for about 4-5 minutes so the sauce can thicken a bit.

5. While the sauce is simmering, heat an additional frying pan with some oil and sir-fry the gnocchi for a few minutes until they got brown spots here and there.

6. Add about half of the grated mozzarella to the sauce, and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Add the gnocchi and blanched broccoli and mix well. If you use kitchenware that can go into an oven, just sprinkle the remaining cheese on top – otherwise transfer veggies, chicken, and sauce to a large casserole dish and then add the cheese. Bake the gnocchi in the oven (using the grilling option of the oven) for a few minutes until the cheese has melted and gotten some color. This took about 10 minutes in my (lame ass) oven – other, more powerful ovens can probably do this in 5 minutes. Enjoy! ;)
