Instructions

1 First, prepare the chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt
and pepper.
2 Sear the chicken: Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high
heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until
they’re golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove
the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
3 Make the lemon sauce: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for
about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and lemon
zest. Stir well, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
4 Simmer and thicken: Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.
Stir in the butter and dried oregano until the butter melts and the sauce
becomes silky. Return the chicken to the pan, spooning the lemon sauce over the
top. Simmer for another 2 minutes to let the flavors meld.
5 Cook the cauliflower gnocchi: While the chicken simmers, heat 1 tbsp of olive
oil in a separate skillet over medium-high heat. Add the Trader Joe’s
cauliflower gnocchi directly from the freezer and sauté for 8-10 minutes,
flipping occasionally, until the gnocchi is golden and crisp on the outside and
tender on the inside.
6 Serve: Finally, plate the cauliflower gnocchi and top with the lemon chicken.
Spoon extra lemon sauce over the chicken and gnocchi. Garnish with fresh parsley
if desired.
