Serves: 6
Ingredients
FOR THE MAIN MEAL:
  • 1.5 lb. Chicken Thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • ½ cup Flour
  • 1 tbsp. Dry English Mustard
  • 4 tbsp. Butter
  • 1 Shallot, thinly sliced
  • 3 Garlic Cloves, minced
  • ½ cup White Wine
  • 1 cup Chicken Stock
  • 1 Lemon, zested and juiced
  • 16 oz. Gnocchi
  • 2 tbsp. Drained Capers
  • ½ cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 tsp. Salt, or more to taste
  • 1 tsp. Black Pepper
SUGGESTED GARNISH:
  • Shaved Parmesan
  • Chopped Italian Parsley
Instructions
  1. Cut the chicken into bite-sized portions. Mix the flour with the dry English mustard in a large bowl, toss the chicken pieces into the flour mixture and shake off any access flour. Sauté the bites in butter until golden on each side in a large skillet, about 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  2. Add the butter to the same skillet over medium-high heat. Once melted, saute the shallot and garlic until fragrant, about 1 - 2 minutes.
  3. Deglaze the skillet with white wine, chicken stock and add the zest + juice of 1 lemon.
  4. While the skillet deglazes and the juices reduce, bring a pot with water to a rolling boil and cook the gnocchi until they're floating, about 4 minutes.
  5. Remove the gnocchi with a slotted spoon and add right into the skillet with drained capers, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and cooked chicken. Make sure to stir until every piece of chicken and gnocchi is covered in the skillet sauce.
  6. Serve immediately with shaved parmesan and Italian parsley.
