Gnocchi With Chicken

Submitted by Shawn C

"elegant italian dish your sure to love. the garlic should be used in a way you like, thinly slice, crushed, diced, smashed or whole. in fancier eye dishes i prefer sliced to add to the appeal of the presentation. but to lessen the bite of garlic you may prefer crushed or minced. Use as you prefer"

DH and I both liked this dish. I have to admit that I cheated on the gnocchi. I had a half of a box in my cupboard, and used it up. Next time, I am going to make fresh. I can only imagine it would be much better. I wasn't sure if the garlic cloves went in whole, or crushed, minced or whatever, so I threw them in whole and removed them before serving. Everything else was good. I love white wine in tomato sauces. It gives it such a nice sweetness and smoothness. I will definately be making this dish again. Thanks Shawn C for posting this.
