Creamy Tuscan Chicken with Gnocchi

#ChickenRecipes #CreamyTuscanChicken #EasyRecipes
This Creamy Tuscan Chicken with Gnocchi is a wonderful weeknight dinner idea that comes together quickly and easily! You'll love the combination of flavors from the creamy tomato sauce loaded with sundried tomatoes, spinach, and moist and tender chicken.
It uses up a lot of pantry staples you may already have on hand. You can serve it skillet to table for a low-carb dinner, or serve it my favorite way which is tossed with some pillowy gnocchi. It's perfect cold-weather comfort food and reheats well for the lunchbox the next day! And of course, don't forget the freshly grated parmesan cheese. These flavors pair beautifully with a little salty cheese on top.

CREAMY TUSCAN CHICKEN WITH GNOCCHI RECIPE
Serves 4-6
Print Recipe Here bit.ly/3HR8JxC
INGREDIENTS:
1 lb (450g) of chicken tenderloins, cut into bite-sized pieces
4 Tbsp (30g) Cornstarch, separated
1 Tbsp (14g) unsalted butter
1 Tbsp (15ml) olive oil
1/3 cup (80ml) of a dry white wine (Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, etc)
1 1/2 cups (375ml) of Chicken Stock
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp (5ml) Italian Seasoning
1 cup (54g) sundried tomatoes, drained and sliced
1 Tbsp (15ml) Tomato Paste
2 Tbsp (30ml) heavy cream
2 cups (60g) baby spinach
2 Tbsp (30ml) very cold water
1/4 cup (23g) parmesan cheese, grated plus more for garnishing and serving
1 lb (454) of store-bought Gnocchi or your favorite pasta
METHOD:
Toss the chicken with 2 Tbsp (15g) cornstarch until coated. Dust off excess.
Heat a 12" non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and the oil. Once the butter and oil are sizzling, slowly add each piece of chicken and cook for a few minutes until the chicken is golden brown, then flip.
Continue to cook until the other side is browned. Don't worry about cooking the chicken all the way through at this stage, you'll do that at a later stage.
Once browned, transfer the chicken with a slotted spoon to a clean plate. Leaving the drippings in the pan.
Set a pot of salted water to boil for the Gnocchi.
Deglaze the chicken pan with white wine. Simmer until it's reduced by 1/3. Then add the chicken stock, the sundried tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian Seasoning, and the garlic.
Add the chicken back in and simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce starts to slowly come up to a boil.
Then in a small bowl mix the remaining 2 Tbsp of cornstarch (15g) with 2 Tbsp (30ml) of very cold water. Slowly add this mixture to the sauce, whisking as you go, thickening the sauce. If your sauce gets too thick, add more chicken stock or you can also add a ladle or two of the starchy pasta water too.
Then add the heavy cream, and the parmesan cheese. whisk to combine and then add the baby spinach, whisking until it starts to wilt. Taste it for seasoning and add salt and pepper if desired. Set sauce aside, taking it off the heat.
Cook the Gnocchi for 5-8 minutes. Drain it and add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet to coat them with the sauce.
Serve skillet-to-table or transfer to a platter and serve with grated parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes if desired.

YAY! So glad you liked it!! And hubby Too! YAY!

[@squisitissima2810]

This looks incredible! So up my alley. I am a gnocchi lover. I think you could turn this recipe into a soup even by adding some broth to it. Very versatile. When I see a recipe for sun-dried tomatoes I always think about an episode of America's Test Kitchen I saw several years ago where they did taste testing of sun-dried tomatoes. The bottom line was you want to pick sun-dried tomatoes that are bright red (like the beautiful one from TJ's you used). The ones that are very dark, almost brown, taste nasty. I found that to be very true.

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Yes! I agree! That is so true! The bright red ones ARE the best! :) Ha!

[@heidid5275]

@@EntertainingWithBeth Yay! 😊

[@brendaspamperedkitchen9878]

Great dish. I was wondering how the cream doesn't curdle due to the to tomatoes? Your videos are always so appreciated and you make it easy to follow along. Blessings💗

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Good question! Mostly because a lot of the acidic has been mellowed and reduced down as is the case with the tomato paste and the sun-dried tomatoes. Both are so sweet due to their concentration (the paste) and the drying (sundried) that it isn't an issue :) Hope you enjoy!

[@biendereviere]

I love the wooden spoon! Where can you get these online?

[@sandras.435]

What if you don't add the starchy water to thicken it then you may not need pasta water. Looks great Beth.

[@lyncrawford3349]

Beth, great recipe and fantastic video. Just you saying tasting spoon. Where did you get it? Best wishes from Northern Ireland.

Oh yum! Will definitely make this week! BTW, I love your t-shirt! Where can I purchase same one :)?

Thanks for sharing, have to try it. I noticed that your sink faucet head is hanging loose, you need to adjust the weights underneath the sink to pull it back in. Cheers.

Good Music choice! 👏🏽👏🏽 Seriously what’s song is that @6:08 i like it

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Ha! Fun right? Well funny enough I'm trying out a new Creator Music Library that KZbin invited me into. The music selections are pretty great! But it's kinda expensive (pricing is based on the reach of the channel) so I'm not sure if it totally makes sense all the time, compared to the reasonable monthly service I use. But if you like it and noticed it then maybe it's worth it ha! It has a lot of popular music in there too and this one is called "Tip Toe Out The Back by Dan Lebowitz," you can listen to it here! kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4ixp6ydoM2emJI

What brand of gnocchi do you purchase? I've tried some which were ok, but never as delicious as I get in restaurants.

Where did you buy you Gnocchi, which brand?

Where could I find chicken tenderloin or what if I COULD NOT find chicken tenderloin?

They are usually marked chicken tenders and are typically right next to the boneless skinless chicken breast, which you could also use if you couldn’t find the tenders :)
