INSTRUCTIONS

1
First, start preheating the oven to 200–205 °C and prepare a small baking sheet (30 cm × 20 cm) lined with baking paper.
2
Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic, and slice the mushrooms thinly. Clean the chicken breasts, season with pepper and salt on all sides. In a medium pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over high heat. Once the oil is hot, place the chicken breasts in the pan and sear for 4–5 minutes on each side. After searing, transfer the chicken breasts to the prepared baking sheet and place in the preheated oven for 17–18 minutes.
3
In the pan where the chicken was seared, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil. Once the oil is hot, add the onion, garlic, mushrooms, and gnocchi to the pan and sauté for 7–8 minutes over medium heat. Then pour in 300 ml of broth and 125 ml of cooking cream, add oregano and thyme, and cook the sauce over medium heat for 8–9 minutes until it thickens.
4
Meanwhile, coarsely grate the mozzarella and finely grate the parmesan. Once thickened, add both cheeses to the pan along with the baby spinach and cook for another 2–3 minutes. Salt to taste if necessary.
5
Remove the seared chicken breasts from the oven and slice them. Divide the gnocchi into portions, add pieces of chicken, and serve.
