ONE-POT CHICKEN & GNOCCHI

One Pot Chicken & Gnocchi

INGREDIENTS

2   slices bacon, cut into ½” pieces

6   boneless, skinless chicken thighs (4 oz.)

¼ tsp salt

⅛ tsp  black pepper

1 tbsp Italian Seasoning Mix, divided

3   garlic cloves, pressed

2 cups 2% or whole milk

1 lb. potato gnocchi

2 oz. Parmesan cheese, finely grated 

½ cup frozen peas

 
DIRECTIONS

1. Heat the Enameled Cast Iron Skillet over medium-high heat for 2–3 minutes. Add the bacon and cook until crisp, 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside.
2. Season the chicken with the salt, pepper, and 2 tsp (10 mL) of the seasoning mix. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook, 5–7 minutes per side, or until the temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
3. Reduce the heat to medium, add the garlic, and cook until fragrant, 10–20 seconds. Add the milk, gnocchi, cheese, bacon, and remaining seasoning mix. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium, and cook, stirring frequently, until the milk has reduced slightly and started to thicken, about 3 minutes.
4. Stir in the peas. Add the chicken and cook on medium-low for an additional 3–5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.
