Just shred it and add it in with the gnocchi in step three. This soup is light and fresh enough to enjoy year-round and it'd be equally delicious using leftover turkey instead of chicken. Now, who wants a bowl?Ĭan you use rotisserie chicken instead of chicken thighs?īe our guest! Using a store-bought rotisserie chicken is a great way time-saving hack for this soup. Chicken thighs are another superstar ingredient here, staying tender and adding rich, chicken-y flavor as the soup simmers. Rather than simmering half the day, it comes together in 45 minutes! The not-so-secret ingredient? Dried gnocchi. These pillowy potato dumplings are worth stocking in your pantry: They cook in five minutes and are a fun alternative to pasta. But what I’m really excited and also super nervous for is a HIIT class I’m going to take at this place called Barry’s Bootcamp.Creamy, comforting chicken gnocchi soup is one of those family dinner recipes that everyone will think took hours to cook-call it chicken and dumplings on the fly. Looking forward to the warmth, epic meals, and (not going to lie) some kid-free relaxation. Sidebar again: I’m heading to Miami tomorrow for a a mini vacay. Good thing wonton wrappers come in packs of 50! In the end, the entire meal was so incredibly delicious, and our little cooking challenge turned out to be a really awesome way to spend Valentine’s Day.īut now that we’re back to real life with no time to spend cooking up a 4-course dinner, we shall let the slow cooker do the work. This was taken after a sheet of burnt samosas and a pan of charred nuts and raisins went into the garbage. However, don’t be fooled by the above strategically staged photo. And for dessert, he made rice pudding with a buttery raisin and cashew topping. I made Pinch of Yum’s Chicken Shahi Korma and Aarti Sequeira’s Aloo Gobi (sidebar: Anyone else miss her show, Aarti Party, on the Food Network?) Dan found a healthy recipe from The Kitchn for baked samosas using wonton wrappers, which he made even healthier by subbing in sweet potatoes for regular potatoes. I ended up with the main dish and side dish and Dan got appetizer and dessert. The challenge of this endeavor was that we drew slips of paper out of a hat to determine which course of the meal we’d each be responsible for. Instead of going out to dinner on V-day, we decided to cook each other an Indian-inspired meal. In the meantime, as promised, here’s a little recap of the Valentine’s Date Night In Cook-Off. I’ve also got a fabulous taco recipe in works using this chicken, so stay tuned! Serve this chicken over rice or quinoa and with a side of veggies for a healthy and filling meal. In hours, you’ll have juicy, fork-tender chicken, which you’ll shred and throw back in the cooking liquid for an extra bath in that sweet and savory sauce. Drop the chicken in the slow cooker and pour in the sauce. The sauce literally takes 5 minutes to prep. I actually derived this Slow Cooker Korean Pulled Chicken from that recipe, using the same ingredients for the sauce. But be sure to check out this super simple Korean beef post from last year using ground turkey (or beef!). If you’ve never tried bulgogi, this recipe, even though we’re cooking chicken, is a great place to start. If you’re a fan of the sweet, garlic and ginger-infused, Korean beef dish, bulgogi, you’re going to love this slow cooker chicken version. After a short stint braising chicken, I’m back to using my trusty slow cooker because nothing screams quick and easy weeknight meals like throwing ingredients in a pot and letting it simmer all day.
