INGREDIENTS:
- 1 (16-ounce) package cauliflower potato gnocchi
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 1 medium shallot, diced
- 1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes halves
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
- 1/4 cup dry white wine*
- 1/2 cup half and half
- 1 bunch kale, stems removed and leaves torn into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan, about 2 ounces
DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook gnocchi according to package instructions; drain well.
- Season chicken with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
