Tangy and Creamy Chicken & Broccoli Sauce
So, we have conquered the world of gnocchi-making (see carrot-gnocchi recipe).
Now, the next-best-thing is to make a sauce that complements the sweet and warmth of carrot-gnocchi.
Let's get to it!
This recipes yields 4 servings.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon of olive oil (for sauteing)
600 gr. of chicken breast cut into thin strips
1 leek sliced and clean
1 head of fresh broccoli (chopped into mouth-size pieces)
1/2 cup of sour cream
1 1/2 tablespoon of grain mustard
1/2 tablespoon of Dijon mustard
1/2 cup of orage juice
1/2 cup of pine nuts (toasted)
Salt & Pepper to taste
Directions:
1. In a skillet, sautee: leeks and chicken until cooked thoroughly.
2. In the meantime, blench the broccoli for 2 minutes and drain, keep aside.
3. Once the chicken is completely cooked, turn off the heat, add: the broccoli, orange juice, mustards, sour cream, salt and pepper. Mix well and serve warm on top of the delicious gnocchis, sprinkle with the toasted pine nuts.
Tips:
1. Instead of fresh broccoli, frozen is an option, but then skip blenching.
2. If you are not to fond of leeks, a yellow onion works too.
Enjoy!
