I have to admit, I could not get enough of this one and I really over indulged!

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  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.
