Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 whole chicken cut into 8 pieces
  • 1/2 cup sliced onion
  • 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup diced carrot
  • 1/2 cup peas (fresh or frozen, thawed if frozen)
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth, or homemade
  • 1 teaspoon herbes de Provence (or more to taste *see note)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • 1 package potato gnocchi (unless you care to make your own)
  • *Note: herbes de Provence is a combination of basil, fennel, lavender, marjoram, rosemary, sage, savory and thyme. You could also substitute Bouquet Garni.

Directions
  1. Season the chicken well with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat; add the chicken, skin side down (or you can remove the skin for a lighter version); fry until brown. Turn chicken and add the onion and garlic, saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the carrot; sprinkle with salt, pepper, herbes de Provence and tarragon.
  2. Add the wine and simmer until reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the chicken stock; reduce heat; cover and simmer 15 minutes. Add the peas. Continue to cook, uncovered, 5 minutes longer or until the chicken is cooked through.
  4. Meanwhile bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil.
  5. Remove the cooked chicken to a platter; keep warm.
  6. Add the gnocchi to the boiling water, when then rise to the surface, remove with a slotted spoon; add to the sauce in the skillet; simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, mixing gently with the sauce until well coated. Taste, adjust seasonings; serve along side the chicken.
