Description
Zartes Hähnchen und goldene Gnocchi vereinen sich in cremiger, pfeffriger Sauce mit feiner Frische von Crème fraîche und Frischkäse, dazu knackige Möhren – ein harmonisch-würziges Pfannengericht mit seidiger Textur.
Ingredients
- 150 g Crème fraîche
- Pfeffer
- 4 Stück (ca. 600g) Hähnchenfilets
- 1/4 Liter Milch
- 1 Becher (150 g) Frischkäse mit Pfeffer
- 3 EL Öl
- 500 g Gnocchi (Kühlregal)
- Salz
- 4 Stiele glatte Petersilie
- Muskat
- 500 g Möhren
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the vegetables and meat. Peel the carrots thoroughly and wash them under cold running water. Cut the carrots into even, thin slices so that they cook uniformly. Next, rinse the chicken filets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Cut each filet in half crosswise for evenly sized pieces that cook quickly and evenly.
- Heat the oil in a large, deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, carefully add the chicken pieces to the pan. Sear the chicken on all sides until golden brown, turning them occasionally to ensure even browning. Continue to cook the chicken for about 4 minutes, turning as needed, until the pieces are cooked through. Season the chicken with salt and pepper while cooking. Once browned, remove the chicken from the pan and set aside on a plate, keeping any juices in the pan.
- While the chicken is cooking, prepare the sauces. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of the peppered cream cheese (Frischkäse) with the crème fraîche. Whisk until smooth, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Set this dip aside for serving later. In another bowl, mix the remaining cream cheese with the milk. Whisk until you have a smooth mixture, then season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg. This will be the sauce for the pan.
- After removing the chicken, add the sliced carrots to the hot pan with the remaining oil and chicken juices. Sauté the carrots over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and take on a bit of color, about 5 minutes. Season the carrots with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the chilled or fresh gnocchi to the pan with the carrots. Stir well to combine and allow the gnocchi to fry lightly for about 2 minutes, letting them absorb some of the flavors from the pan.
- Pour the prepared cream cheese and milk sauce over the carrots and gnocchi in the pan. Stir everything gently to coat the vegetables and gnocchi evenly with the sauce.
- Return the browned chicken pieces (and any accumulated juices) back to the pan. Nestle the chicken into the sauce and vegetables, ensuring everything is well distributed. Cover the pan with a lid and let the mixture simmer gently over medium-low heat for about 8 minutes. This will allow the chicken to finish cooking through, the carrots to become tender, and the flavors to meld together. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- While the dish simmers, wash the parsley and shake it dry. Strip the leaves from the stems and chop them finely.
- Once the chicken and gnocchi pan is done and the sauce has thickened slightly, remove the lid and check the seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or nutmeg if desired.
- To serve, sprinkle the freshly chopped parsley generously over the finished dish for a burst of flavor and color. Serve the Hähnchen-Gnocchi-Pfanne hot from the pan, accompanied by the prepared crème-fraîche and cream cheese dip on the side.
Notes
For the best flavor, use fresh gnocchi from the refrigerated section if possible. Feel free to add other vegetables such as peas or zucchini for extra color and nutrition. Adjust the seasoning to your preference, and don’t skip the fresh parsley as it adds a bright touch to the finished dish. If you want a richer sauce, you can add a bit more crème fraîche or cream cheese. This dish is best enjoyed immediately after cooking while the gnocchi are still tender and the sauce is creamy.
