This Chicken and Gnocchi dish combines tender chicken thighs, tossed in the vibrant Big Cove Foods Sunshine Blend, with pillowy potato gnocchi and a velvety, creamy sauce.

Ingredients
-
6 chicken thighs, boneless, cut into bite size pieces
-
1 tbsp Big Cove Foods Sunshine Blend
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, roughly minced
- 1.5 lb potato gnocchi (about 4 cups)
- 2-3 big handfuls of fresh spinach
- 1.5 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup Parmesan
- Salt to taste
Directions
In a medium bowl, toss the chicken with the Sunshine Blend and mix until well coated.
- Set a large pan over medium-high heat; add the olive oil and heat until shimmering. Add the chicken and cook until starting to get nice and brown and cooked through (internal temp 165 F). Remove the chicken from the pan.
- Meanwhile, in a pot of boiling water, cook the gnocchi according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Without wiping out the pan, add the onion and cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes, then add the garlic for another 30 seconds, or until deliciously aromatic!
- Add the broth to the skillet and cook until liquid is reduced but about half the amount. Then add the spinach and allow to wilt.
- Add the heavy cream and cook until starts to simmer. Add the chicken back to the pan and mix into the sauce.
- Gently add in the gnocchi until everything is coated, sprinkle on the parm and serve!
- Salt to taste!
Recipe Note
Cook your gnocchi according to instructions, some are pan fry, while other are boil.

We missed this blend. It’s been a staple in our house for a number of years. Use it in stirfys and on pork.

Purchased at the OOAK show in TO. Love this blend and made the chicken/rice dish on the site. Making it on repeat!

My second time purchasing Ghost Taco and it’s unreal. Perfect amount of spice and no fillers like starch that a lot of other blends have. Great on chicken and beef.
On top of that my package got stuck with the Canada Post Strike and when they learned I was still waiting they sent me a brand new package through a different shipper. Amazing customer service guys, thanks!

What I love about these spices is that they may come individually packaged, but I still turn on a bit more wild, by mixing one package with another. Have you tried Taco Enhancer with Red Rub? Amazing

Egyptian Summer spice blend

Amazing! I put this on everything. It brings everything to the next level.
I love the ability to try so many flavours. Nicely packaged and reseal flawlessly so they keep the freshness.

This Taco Duo is amazing. Great taste.
I use it in hamburgers, meatloaf, Chicken. I definitely will be ordering again

I will be trying them thod weekend
They smell good 👍

Love this! I add it to yogurt! Texture and flavor is fantastic!

I am a chef and I ordered these last summer for BBQ season they were awesome! Will certainly re order soon! I would recommend these spices to anyone that is looking to take their BBQ reciepes to the next level.

This was amazing, I’ve already made the chickpea salad 4 times!!! I also made it for a few other people to try and they all loved it as well and asked where it was from!

My favourite spice blend. Delicious on any/all meat!

I traveled to Ontario for Christmas (2023) and brought Pouches of Big Cove Pick your Own Five. It was a big hit several years ago when I did it. Great feedback from everyone back then and everyone was very happy to recieve them again. The blends and recipes are great.

Had to order them all so we could try the ones we haven’t yet!
