Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 500 g chicken breast fillet
- 1 red onion
- 3 bay leaves
- 5 g fresh thyme
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 10 g fresh parsley
- 3 cloves garlic
- 800 g canned chopped tomatoes
- 1 tbsp brown cane sugar
- 500 g gnocchi
- 40 g Parmesan cheese
- fresh basil
- salt
- black pepper
Steps
- 1Heat the oil in a large pan over low heat. Then increase the heat to medium-high, add the diced chicken breast, and sauté for 7–8 minutes until the meat turns white. Remove the chicken from the pan, reduce the heat to medium, and sauté the finely chopped onion for 5–6 minutes.
- 2Add the bay leaf, thyme, oregano, chopped parsley, and crushed garlic. Sauté for 1–2 minutes, then pour in the chopped tomatoes. Do not discard the cans; fill them with water and pour that into the pan as well.
- 3Cook the tomato sauce for about 15 minutes over high heat. Then reduce the heat to medium, return the chicken, add the sugar, and cook for another 5 minutes. Finally, add the gnocchi, Parmesan, salt, and pepper, then cook for 8–10 minutes (or according to package directions), stirring occasionally to prevent the gnocchi from sticking.
- 4Before serving, sprinkle with finely chopped fresh basil.
