Grilled Chicken with Garlic and Red Pepper Sauce with Gnocchi


Sharing another by the seat of my pants meals. 
I have to admit, I could not get enough of this one and I really over indulged! 


Here is what I did:
6 boneless skinless chicken breasts, grilled with extra virgin olive oil &  red pepper and garlic shake.



In a skillet, with 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil & 2 tbsps of butter.
 Saute 1 medium white onion & 3 cloves of chopped garlic. 
Add 2 tsps of black pepper, 2 tsp of cayenne pepper, 1 tsp of brown sugar. 
Add  1/2 cup of chopped red pepper.
Saute until onions are clear.
 Add 2 cups of half and half cream, simmer for 3-5 minutes.
 Slowly, while whisking  add 1 tbsp of sifted flour, to thicken.
*Prepare gnocchi according to pkg, directions.*


Slice grilled chicken and arrange on top of prepared gnocchi.
 Top with garlic and red pepper sauce.


* Some shredded sharp cheddar cheese goes along perfect with this one*
Enjoy!
