Ingredients

1 pound chicken breast

1 tablespoon Tuscan Style Herb Chicken Mix

3 tablespoons butter

1 small onion

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 pound uncooked potato gnocchi

1/2 cup jarred sun dried tomato strips in oil,

(reserve 2 teaspoons of the jarred oil for cooking)

1/2 cup chicken broth

1 1/4 cups heavy cream

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs

1 1/2 cups fresh baby spinach

1/2 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons fresh chopped basil

salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

Cut chicken into small bite size pieces and season with Tuscan Style Herb Chicken Mix

Heat the 5 qt Brilliance Sauté Pan over medium-high heat. Melt the butter and add chicken, browning on all sides then add onions and cook until transparent, about 2 minutes. Sauté garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Add the gnocchi and let sear in the butter for a minute.

Add the sun dried tomatoes and reserved oil. Cook for a further minute to release flavors into the gnocchi.

Pour in the chicken broth, cream and Italian herbs. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything together and reduce heat to medium.

Cover pan with lid and let cook for 5 minutes.

Stir in the spinach leaves and cook until wilted, about 1 minute.

Stir in parmesan cheese and chopped basil. Let simmer for a minute or until gnocchi is soft, cooked through and the sauce has thickened to your liking.

Season with a little extra salt & pepper, if needed, to suit your taste.
