Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (1 1/2 to 2 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/4 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon paprika
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
1 carrot, finely chopped
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 17.5-ounce package potato gnocchi
1/2 cup frozen peas
1/4 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon thyme and the paprika. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet and roast until no longer pink in the middle, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery, carrot, remaining 1/4 teaspoon thyme and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth and 3/4 cup water and bring to a boil. Stir in the gnocchi, breaking apart any that are sticking together. Cover and simmer until the gnocchi are just tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Uncover the skillet and stir in the peas and heavy cream. Cook until slightly thickened, about 1 minute; season with salt and pepper. Slice the chicken and serve with the gnocchi.

ROSEMARY-GARLIC ROASTED CHICKEN AND GNOCCHI



Rosemary-Garlic Roasted Chicken and Gnocchi image

The classic combination of chicken, potatoes, rosemary, garlic and lemon dazzles in this sheet-pan meal. Standing in for the potatoes are shelf-stable potato gnocchi, which offer many textures at once when roasted instead of boiled: pillowy-soft, crisp and chewy. Squeeze some lemon right onto the sheet pan, and as you scrape up the schmaltzy, garlicky bits, the juices and drippings glaze the gnocchi, leaving no drop of the chicken's renderings wasted. It's hard not to eat the gnocchi right from the pan, but if you can wait, serve everything alongside a green salad.

Categories     dinner, weeknight, poultry, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 to 3 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (6 to 8 pieces)
Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
Black pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
6 garlic cloves, finely grated
1 tablespoon chopped rosemary (from 2 sprigs)
2 (12- to 18-ounce) packages shelf-stable potato gnocchi
1 lemon

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Pat the chicken dry, then transfer to a sheet pan and season all over with 1½ teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper. In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic and rosemary with a fork. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Add the oil mixture and the gnocchi to the chicken. Toss with your hands to coat, massaging the garlic and rosemary into the chicken and gnocchi. Arrange the gnocchi in an even layer, and place the chicken skin side up on top of the gnocchi. Roast until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Transfer the chicken to plates and finely grate the zest of half the lemon over the chicken. Squeeze the juice of half the lemon onto the gnocchi (about 1½ tablespoons), then use a spoon to scrape up the browned bits on the sheet pan and toss the gnocchi in the lemon juice and pan drippings. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cut the remaining lemon into wedges. Eat the chicken with the gnocchi and a lemon wedge for squeezing over.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your dish taste better. Look for organic, free-range chicken and high-quality gnocchi.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken and gnocchi, be sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the food from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Make sure the gnocchi is cooked through: The gnocchi should be cooked until it is tender but still holds its shape.
  • Add the vegetables last: The vegetables should be added to the pan last so that they retain their crispness.
  • Season the dish to taste: Once the dish is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices.
  • Serve the dish immediately: Chicken with skillet gnocchi is best served immediately, while the gnocchi is still hot and fluffy.
