Ingredients

Directions

  1. Pat chicken thighs dry and season with pepper and 1/8 teaspoon salt.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in an extra-large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add chicken thighs and cook for 13 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked to 170ðF.
  4. Transfer chicken to a platter and keep warm.
  5. In the same skillet, add remaining 1 tablespoon oil and sauté aromatics (such as garlic, onion, or thyme) over medium heat for about 10 minutes until tender.
  6. Sprinkle flour over the aromatics and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute to make a roux.
  7. Gradually stir in stock and bring to a boil, stirring frequently to prevent lumps.
  8. Stir in gnocchi.
  9. Return mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
  10. Simmer uncovered for 3 to 4 minutes or until gnocchi are tender and sauce has thickened.
  11. Season sauce with 1/4 teaspoon salt and additional pepper to taste.
