Gnocchi with Roasted Chicken, Bacon, and Kale
Prep Time10 Minutes
Servings3
Cook Time30 Minutes
Ingredients
1 Gerber’s CARE Certified boneless skinless chicken breast
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. Heinen’s organic garlic granules
½ tsp. black pepper
2 Tbsp. Heinen’s extra virgin olive oil
10 slices Heinen’s CARE Certified bacon, cut in ½ inch pieces
1 bunch fresh lacinato kale, stems removed
1 package Heinen’s shelf stable potato gnocchi
1 Tbsp. sherry vinegar
4 Tbsp. Heinen’s extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp. Heinen's Dijon mustard
¼ cup Heinen’s Parmigiano Reggiano, grated
Directions
- Pat chicken breast dry. Season both sides with the salt, onion granules, and black pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 Tbsp. of olive oil. Sear the chicken breast for 4 minutes per side, untouched, until the internal temperature just reaches 165°F. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 10 minutes. Reserving bacon grease in the pan, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and let sit until cool.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potato gnocchi and boil until the gnocchi float to the surface, about 3–4 minutes.
- While the gnocchi cook, heat the skillet with the bacon drippings over medium heat. Tear the kale into small pieces with your hands and add to the skillet. Stir occasionally.
- Cut the cooked chicken breast into pieces and add to the skillet.
- Drain the gnocchi and add to the skillet, stirring well. Add the sherry vinegar, Dijon mustard, and reserved chopped bacon. Stir well, until combined.
- Top with grated Heinen’s Parmigiano Reggiano. Serve.
