Ingredients

1 large yellow onion (approx. 80 g)
2 garlic cloves
150 g white mushrooms
400 g skinless chicken breast fillet
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
500 g potato gnocchi
300 ml chicken broth
125 ml cooking cream 12% fat
1 tbsp dried oregano
1 tbsp dried, rubbed thyme
125 g classic mozzarella
2 tbsp grated Parmesan
80 g baby spinach
Fine salt
Black ground pepper

Preparation & Searing

1
Preheat the oven to 200–205 °C. Line a small baking sheet (approx. 30 cm × 20 cm) with baking paper.
2
Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic. Slice the mushrooms thinly. Clean the chicken breast fillets and season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a pan over high heat. Sear the chicken breast for 4–5 minutes on each side. Then place it on the prepared baking sheet and finish cooking in the oven for approx. 17–18 minutes.

Sauce & Gnocchi

1
In the same pan, heat the remaining 2 tbsp oil. Add onion, garlic, mushrooms, and gnocchi and sauté over medium heat for 7–8 minutes. Deglaze with 300 ml chicken broth and 125 ml cooking cream. Stir in oregano and thyme and simmer the sauce over medium heat for 8–9 minutes until it thickens slightly.
2
Meanwhile, coarsely grate the mozzarella and finely grate the Parmesan. Once the sauce has thickened, add both cheeses along with the baby spinach to the pan and simmer for another 2–3 minutes. Season with salt to taste.
3
Remove the cooked chicken breast from the oven and slice it. Arrange the gnocchi on plates, distribute the chicken pieces on top, and serve immediately.
