Creamy Garlic and Herb Chicken with Gnocchi

I found this yummy little dish in one of those little cookbooks attached to a magazine. It is very easy to make and great for a quick dinner.



Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 chicken breasts, skin off
500g fresh gnocchi
2 cloves garlic, crushed
300ml cream
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons freshly chopped oregano (or you can cheat and use the "fresh" stuff in the tube)

Method
Cook gnocchi in a large saucepan of boiling water until just tender. Drain and set aside.
Heat half the oil in a large fry pan and cook the chicken, uncovered, until browned and cooked through. Remove from fry pan and slice into thick pieces.
Heat remaining oil in the same fry pan as the chicken was cooked in and cook garlic, stirring for about one minute. Add cream and lemon juice and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until mixture thickens slightly (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in oregano.
Divide gnocchi among serving plates, top with the sliced chicken and drizzle with sauce.
Yum!
