Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we've revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

Pull out a large frying pan, a large non-stick frying pan, a grater, a sieve & a measuring jug

Cook the chicken

Heat the large frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 14 mins, stirring occasionally, until cooked through
Add the garlic herb paste to the chicken and cook for a further minute. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside

Prep time

Meanwhile, thinly slice the onion and mushrooms. Pick the tarragon from the stalks and roughly chop. Finely grate the cheese. Rinse the spinach

Simmer simmer

Reheat the frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium heat. Once hot, add the onion and mushrooms and cook for 5-7 mins, until soft and golden. Stir through the mustard
Add 100ml water (50ml for 1 person), the stock and chicken. Bring to a boil and simmer for 2-3 mins. Stir in the spinach in the final minute

Fry the gnocchi

Heat the large non-stick frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the gnocchi and cook for 4-5 mins, tossing regularly, until golden brown. Season with salt

Finishing touches & plate up

Remove from the mushroom mix from the heat and stir through the yoghurt, cooked gnocchi, tarragon and half the cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper
Check your chicken is cooked through by cutting a large piece in half; the flesh should be white and the juices running clear
Share the chicken mushroom gnocchi between bowls. Sprinkle over the remaining cheese
