Cannellini with Olive Oil and Thyme

This chicken meal is inspired from Hainan chicken, a dish from Southern China. In the traditional version, chicken is cooked slowly in broth that is later used to cook rice. The same principle is applied here, preparing everything in the same pot. The ginger sauce, absolutely essential, brings the finishing touch to this recipe. A weeknight dinner that’s like a culinary trip.

It’s a good idea to use store-bought gnocchi as a shortcut for a weeknight dinner. Swap the traditional recipe by cooking them with hot Italian sausage, leek and fennel. Once these ingredients have been pan-fried, add chicken stock and romano cheese for creaminess. The result is healthy and savoury, perfect for evenings when time flies.
