Warning:  If you make this once and serve it to family and or friends, you will be asked to make it again!  This recipe came about for two reasons.  The first being that I saw a more difficult version of it on The Food Network Channel.  The second reason was to serve this dish to some very dear Italian boating friends, in our galley.  First we had some wine, and when I told them what I was serving, they laughed at me.  I was like, "what?"  Well, come to find out I was totally blowing how I pronounced "gnocchi" and they let me know it.  I called it "ga- no- chi"  ha ha, I know.  They proceeded to tell me how to properly pronounce it and it is "na-kee".  I will never make that mistake again.  Anyway, dinner was a huge success, so much so that they wanted me to have them over again and serve this same meal.  They also wanted the recipe.  You don't have to be Italian to make this, or to love Italian food as I do.  I made it easier by cheating on the marinara sauce, it's not home-made, but shhhh, if you don't tell anyone, they will never know, not even the true Italian.


Italian Marinara Chicken with Gnocchi

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, dice or not
1 T. olive oil
Sprinkles of Montreal seasoning
3 Italian sausages, remove casing and scramble
3 slices pancetta,
1 shallot, chopped
1 small yellow pepper, chopped
1/2 c. red onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
24 oz. marinara sauce
5 lg. basil leaves, chopped
1 small yellow pepper, chopped
1/2 c. red onion, chopped
3/4 tsp. red pepper flakes, or to taste
1 lb. pkg. potato gnocchi, cook as directed before serving
2 T. flat leaf parsley, chopped

Pound chicken between wax paper, sprinkle with Montreal Steak Seasoning and cook in a large fry pan with the olive oil.  When browned and cooked through remove from pan, let cool.  Using the same fry pan add the scrambled sausage and pancetta, cook for about 10 minutes over medium heat, then add shallots, yellow pepper, red onion and garlic.  Continue to cook until pancetta and sausage has browned.  Now, stir in marinara sauce, basil, red pepper flakes and diced cooked chicken breast. Simmer on low until chicken is hot.  Ladle over gnocchi, and garnish with chopped parsley. Mmm
