Country Chicken with Gnocchi

Gnocchi is so often thought of as to just be served with a tomato sauce or pesto, but I find that they are excellent when used as a side in place of your standard potato or rice dish.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons COLAVITA Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1 whole chicken cut into 8 pieces (3 1/2 - 4 pounds)

1/2 cup sliced onion

3 cloves garlic thinly sliced

1/2 cup diced carrot

1/2 cup peas (fresh or frozen, thawed if frozen)

1 cup dry white wine

1/2 cup Rachael Ray All-Natural Chicken Stock

1 teaspoon herbes de Provence (or more to taste) *see note

1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon

Salt and freshly ground pepper

1 package COLAVITA Gnocchi


Directions

Season the chicken well with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat; add chicken, skin side down, and saute until browned, turn; add the onion and garlic, saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the carrot; sprinkle salt, pepper, herbes de Provence and tarragon over all. Add the wine and simmer until reduced by half, about 5 minutes; add chicken stock, reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer 15 minutes, uncover; add the peas and continue to cook 5 minutes longer or until the chicken is cooked through. Meanwhile, in a large pot, bring 3 quarts water to a rolling boil; add a good pinch of salt. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it to a platter and keep warm. Add the gnocchi to the boiling water, when they rise to the surface, remove with a slotted spoon; add to the sauce in the skillet. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, mixing gently with the sauce until well coated. Taste, adjust seasoning, and serve with the chicken.

Reminded me of chicken pot pie, but quicker! Spinach is perfect side.
