Ingredients

500 g gnocchi
500 g green asparagus
200 g cherry tomatoes
0.5 cups gouda cheese melted
0.5 cups heavy cream
1 bunch parsley
pinch of salt
pinch of pepper
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 chicken breasts

Instructions

Wash the asparagus, cut off the ends, and peel them if necessary. Slice the asparagus into 2-3 cm pieces. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the asparagus for 2-3 minutes until al dente. Then, shock it in cold water and drain.
In the meantime, wash and halve the cherry tomatoes. Finely chop the parsley.
Heat 2 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large pan. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, season with salt and pepper, and fry them in the pan until fully cooked (around 7-10 minutes). Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.
In the same pan, add the gnocchi and fry them over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Add the cooked asparagus, halved tomatoes, and parsley to the pan. Stir in one tablespoon of melted Gouda cheese, mix gently with the other ingredients.
Add another tablespoon of melted Gouda cheese, stir again, and pour in ½ cup of heavy cream. Stir everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Finally, add the cooked chicken back into the pan, stir well, and serve hot.
