Making a from-scratch cream sauce may sound like a tall order, but this straightforward method demystifies the process. After preparing a simple roux of flour whisked into melted butter, half & half and Bell & Evans Organic Chicken Bone Broth are added in and simmered to create a luxurious and silky effect. Tossed with gnocchi, Bell & Evans Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast, spinach and cheese, this restaurant-worthy Italian-American dish is soon to be part of your regular dinner rotation.
Ingredients
- 1 Pkg Bell & Evans Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
- 1 1/2 cup Bell & Evans Organic Chicken Bone Broth
- 1 (16-oz) Pkg Dried gnocchi, refrigerated or frozen
- 1 TB Olive oil
- 2 tsp Salt, plus more to taste
- 1/2 tsp Black pepper, plus more to taste
- 3 TB Unsalted butter
- 5 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 TB All-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup Half & half
- 4 cups Fresh baby spinach
- 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 TB Chopped fresh basil
Preparation
- Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook the gnocchi according to package directions; drain and set aside.
- Heat oil in a large straight-sided skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until golden-brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F, about 5-6 minutes per side. Allow to rest 5 minutes before slicing.
- Meanwhile, melt butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in flour, and cook until no lumps remain, about 1 minute. Stir in broth and half & half, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens, about 4-5 minutes. Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Stir in Parmesan and cook until melted, about 1 minute. Add gnocchi and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Top with chicken and garnish with basil. Serve and enjoy.
Sounds delish, but I’m puzzled
In the directions, you mention stirring in the broth, but I don’t see broth listed in the ingredients ?
