Equipment

Instructions
 

  • Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides.
  • browned chicken in a skillet
    Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken to the pan in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden. (it doesn't have to be cooked though yet)
  • Remove the chicken from the skillet and transfer to a plate.
  • shallots, garlic, and sun-dried tomatoes sauteing in oil
    Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the shallot to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the shallots have softened. Add the garlic and sun-dried tomatoes to the pan and saute for 30 seconds.
  • Add the white wine to the pan and deglaze the skillet. Be sure to scrape the bottom of the pan to pick up any bits that might have stuck to the skillet.
  • white wine deglazing a pan with sun dried tomatoes, shallots, and minced garlic
    Allow the wine to simmer for 6-8 minutes or until it has reduced by half.
  • heavy cream, parmesan, and basil in a skillet to make a creamy Marry Me sauce
    Stir in the spices, heavy cream, and parmesan. Cook the sauce, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 more minutes.
  • chicken and gnocchi added to the creamy sundried tomato and parmesan sauce
    Once the sauce has reached your desired consistency, reduce the heat to low and add the chicken and gnocchi to the skillet, covering it until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Garnish with finely chopped basil. Serve immediately
