Chicken Sorrentino is a spectacular makeover of the famous Gnocchi alla Sorrentina. With only 5 main ingredients it’s nothing short of epic.

chicken breast (about 700 grams)

cheese

tomato sauce (+ ½ cup water)

onion ((finely chopped))

flour

basil leaves (a few

Extra virgin olive oil

Salt (to taste)

Pepper (to taste)

In a large skillet pan add a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and add finely chopped onion.Simmer for a few minutes on medium heat.

Add tomato puree + 1/2 cup water to thin out the sauce. Add an extra 1/4 cups water if you&#39;re using hard Mozzarela cheese (see notes).Simmer for about 5 minutes on low heat.

Add salt and and just a few basil leaves. You should still have some left to add later.

Prepare Tomato Sauce

Cut chicken breast in large cubes.

Place chicken cubes in a big bowl and toss with flour.Mix well, making sure all chicken cubes are well dredged with flour.

In a large skillet pan heat olive oil. Once oil is hot (but not burning!) add chicken cube shaking off excess flour.

Add salt.

Once nice and brown on one side flip them with a spatula to get an even golden color on each side.

Prepare Chicken Breast

Once chicken is all browned, add previously cooked tomato sauce. Mix well.

Top with fresh Mozzarella cut in cubes and a few basil leaves.Turn the heat an low and let it simmer for a mere minute or two until all flavors are well combined and Mozzarella has slightly melted.
