This chicken with gnocchi recipe is very quick and easy to make. I have made this dish for many dinner parties. Friends and family keep coming back for more.
Recipe Ingredients
- 4 slices bacon
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- 1 lemon, juiced, divided
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 sprigs finely chopped rosemary
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ (14.5 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups gnocchi
- ½ (8 ounce) package fresh spinach
Cooking Directions
- 1 Combine bacon and onion in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
- 2 Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add chicken and 1/2 of the lemon juice and cook until no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, 5 to 7 minutes per side.
- 3 Meanwhile, mix balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, rosemary, red pepper flakes, and remaining lemon juice together in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until mixture bubbles, 5 to 7 minutes. Add tomatoes with some of their juice and continue to simmer while chicken finishes cooking.
- 4 Melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Pan-fry gnocchi in the hot butter until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes.
- 5 Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add spinach, cover, and steam until tender, 2 to 6 minutes.
- 6 Place bacon and onion onto a serving plate and top with spinach, gnocchi, and chicken, in that order. Drizzle with tomato-balsamic sauce.
