1 cup whole milk

500 g (17oz) gnocchi (regular or gluten-free)

Instructions

To a high-sided large skillet, add 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil and turn to medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, sear the chicken, 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown. Set aside on a plate.

Turn the skillet to medium heat. Add 1/2 tbsp olive oil and the onion and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened. Then add the minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme and chili flakes. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Add the broth and scrape the browned bits from the bottom of pan. Add the lemon zest and whole milk and stir. Finally add the lemon juice, constantly stirring as you add it. Bring to a simmer and once simmering, stir in the gnocchi. Nestle the chicken breasts and their juices into the pan. Bring to a simmer again, reduce heat and keep at a simmer at medium-low heat. Cook for 10-15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.

Once the chicken is cooked, remove from the pan and stir in parmesan cheese and cook a few more minutes until the sauce has slightly thickened.

Serve topped with fresh dill and lemon slices if desired.
