Ingredients

  • 6 skinless and boneless chicken thighs
  • 10 g butter
  • 1 onion diced
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 5 g thyme chopped
  • 350 ml chicken stock
  • 120 g cream cheese
  • 500 g gnocchi
  • 80 g baby spinach

Instructions

  • Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Add the butter, along with a little bit of cooking oil into a large frying pan over a medium to high heat. Once it melts, and starts to turn brown, add the chicken into the pan and cook until they are golden brown on both sides.
  • Once goldened and cooked through, remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  • In the same pan, add in the diced onion and cook until it softens. Once soft, add the garlic and thyme and cook for a further minute.
  • Now pour in the chicken stock, add the cream cheese, and add the gnocchi straight in.
  • Lay the chicken on top, then cover with a lid, or foil, and simmer for a few minutes, until the sauce thickens, and the gnocchi is tender.
  • Stir through the spinach until it wilts, then it’s ready to dish up. Enjoy.
