Gnocchi with Chicken and Zucchini

When dinner seems like a hardship then this nifty dish will set you right. As I have said before buy gnocchi that is at least 80% potato and is vacuum sealed. Unless you make it yourself then you will know it is quality. This took me 15 minutes to make from start to finish.

Ingredients:

300g chicken fillets, use thigh or breast it doesn't matter
1 large zucchini cut into
1/2 cup cream
2 tbsp Sunflower oil
Pepper
500g gnocchi
Parmesan Cheese

Method:
1. Heat a oil in a frypan
2. Lightly steam the zucchini so it is still very firm (not mushy please) and set aside
3. Fry the chicken until just cooked
4. Cool the chicken slightly then cut into 1.5cm cubes (bite size)
5. Cook the gnocchi as per the instructions on the package
5. Add the cream to the frypan and bring to boil to reduce slightly then reduce heat to low
6. Add the zucchini, chicken and pepper to taste
7. Simmer while the gnocchi finishes cooking
8. Drain gnocchi, stir in sauce and serve topped with grated parmesan cheese.
