Chicken With Gnocchi Dumplings

Nom nom nom! Creamy, carb goodness! I omit the pepper and scallions while adding a large can of mixed veggies to make it more like comfort food (almost like chicken pot pie).

• 1 package  potato gnocchi

• 4 tablespoons butter

• 1 onion, finely chopped

• 1 red bell pepper, chopped

• 12 ounces skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into thin strips

• Salt and pepper

• 2 tablespoons flour

• 1 cup half-and-half

• 1 cup chicken broth

• 2 scallions, chopped

1. Cook the gnocchi according to package directions; drain.
2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until just cooked through, about 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
3. In a small saucepan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook until toasted, about 3 minutes. Whisk in the half-and-half and chicken broth; bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until thickened. Whisk into the chicken mixture, then stir in the gnocchi. Bring to a simmer, then season with salt and pepper and top with the scallions.
