Ever imagined gnocchi made without potatoes? Let’s make it now! This version swaps potato for chicken breast and hides a smoky, cheesy surprise inside. A lighter, protein-packed twist on a beloved classic.

🛒 INGREDIENTS:
For the dough:
1 chicken breast
1 handful grated cheese
1 tbsp corn starch
Salt, pepper & spices

1 cup ricotta
1 egg
100 g tasty cheese
Salt & pepper
For the sauce:
@dorsognasmallgoods Coppa (thin slices)
200 ml cream
Salt & pepper
👩🍳 STEP-BY-STEP:
Blend chicken breast, grated cheese, corn starch, egg, and spices until smooth. Chill to firm up.
Mix the filling: blend ham, ricotta, egg, tasty cheese, salt, and pepper into a creamy paste. Transfer to a piping bag.
Flatten small portions of dough, pipe in filling, and seal into gnocchi.
Boil in salted water for 7 mins or until they float.
Crisp up Coppa in a pan, add cream, season, then lightly pan-fry the gnocchi before tossing in the sauce.
Serve hot and don’t forget the Argentine tradition… slip some cash under your plate for good fortune.
Smoky, cheesy, creamy and comforting — this is gnocchi with a modern twist!
