Kylling i flødesauce med soltørrede tomater og gnocchi - Opskrift

Chicken in Creamy Sauce with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Gnocchi

Pan-fried chicken in a rich, creamy sauce packed with sun-dried tomatoes, spinach and gnocchi. A really easy one-pan dish that comes together in no time, and it tastes wonderful.
Plenty of Parmesan, garlic and freshly squeezed lemon, – the sauce is velvety, full of flavour and simply delicious.
The dish is also known as Marry Me Chicken, – because it is said that whoever you serve it to will propose to you;-)
Whether that is true is for you to judge, – and should it happen, do let me hear the story, hehe;-)


The gnocchi are boiled briefly before being folded into the sauce at the end, and the fried chicken breasts go back into the pan. If you prefer pasta, you can of course swap the gnocchi for your favourite pasta.
Gnocchi and a creamy sauce are a wonderful match, the textures are lovely, and the flavour, – mmm. A big favourite in our house, together with the juicy chicken breast.

Method

  • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then turn them in the flour.
  • Melt the butter in a frying pan and add a couple of tablespoons of the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes. Fry the chicken until cooked through and golden on both sides.
    Set the chicken aside on a plate with a piece of foil over it.
  • In the same pan, add the onion, garlic and sun-dried tomatoes, – and fry until the onion is translucent.
    If the sun-dried tomatoes are whole, cut them into strips before adding them to the pan.
  • Pour in the stock and the cream and let the sauce bubble for a couple of minutes, then add the Parmesan and stir it into the sauce.
    Let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes more, or until it thickens slightly and comes together.
  • Add the spinach and fresh basil and stir until wilted.
    Season the sauce to taste with salt, pepper and freshly squeezed lemon juice.
  • Cook the gnocchi as directed on the packet, then lift them out with a slotted spoon and fold them into the sauce in the pan.
  • Return the chicken breasts to the sauce in the pan and warm through for a couple of minutes, – then top the dish with fresh basil and freshly ground pepper.

    Hej Diana, tak for en dejlig opskrift!
    Jeg udskiftede fløden med et bægre pikantost og tilføjede friske små tomater og en god håndfuld bønner fra haven. Det blev rigtigt godt
    Venlig hilsen Bitten.

    • Hej Bitten

    Endnu en fantastisk opskrift på en yderst delikat ret – den er strøget direkte ind på hitlisten i familien. Tusind tak!

  8. Hvilken type bouillon bruges der? 🙂

    • Hej Luna

      Jeg bruger kyllingebouillon – terninger.

      Warm wishes, Dianna

    • Kristine

      Hvilken bullion? Er det 1 tern i 1 1/2 dl vand?

      • Hej Kristine

        Jeg bruger kyllingebouillon,
        Til 1 1/2 dl vand skal du bruge lidt over 1/4 terning – så det skal egentlig bare blandes i de forhold der står på pakken.
        Jeg bruger oftest 1/2 terning, synes sagtens retten kan bære en lidt kraftigere bouillon.

        Warm wishes, Dianna

    • Ellisemaia

      Hej
      Kan jeg putte noget andet ost i end parmesan ?

      • Hej Ellisemaia

        Du kan sagtens undlade parmesan, – saucen har en dejlig smag alligevel:)
        Men tilsæt evt.lidt mozzarella, for at gøre den ekstra cremet 🙂

        Warm wishes, Dianna
