Gnocchi Chicken Steaklet Pasta is something that I found quiet easy to prepare for lunch. It looks appetizing & tastes even better.

Gnocchi are different thick, delicate dough dumplings which are a type of pasta. Gnocchi can be obtained ready made from markets or they can be hand made. Their readiness is like pasta as they are cooked by boiling & after that presented with a sauce.

Chicken Steaklets are chicken breast fillet portions coated with a tasty, crispy crumb & are sometimes filled with a succulent sauce.

Gnocchi Chicken Steaklet Pasta Ingredients:

• ¼ cup gnocchi pasta
• 1 teaspoon cooking oil + additional 1 teaspoon
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon dried mixed herbs
• rough salt to taste
• boiling water
• 1 piece chicken steaklet with sauce filling or plain chicken steaklet (if you are using the plain chicken steaklet, a sauce will need to be prepared to accompany this meal).
• 2 teaspoons fresh spring onions, chopped

Method:

1. In a medium sized pot, add water & bring to a boil. (I find that boiling the water in a kettle first & then pouring the boiled water into the pot, speeds up the process).
2. Add in about a tablespoon of rough salt.
3. Once the water is at a boil, drop in the pasta.
4. Add in the cooking oil. This helps the pasta from not sticking together.
5. 
6. This cooks in about 10-15 minutes.
7. In the meantime, heat a pan or skillet & drop in a teaspoon of cooking oil.
8. Fry the chicken steaklet. I usually get the Country Fair ones with garlic sauce inside of them.
9. Fry each side for about 3-4 minutes. Careful not to spill the sauce inside the steaklet.
10. When fried, place on a paper towel to drain off excess oil.
11. 
12. When pasta is al dente (not too hard & not too soft), check if the salt is okay & add more if necessary.
13. Strain the pasta in a colander.
14. 
15. Place drained pasta in a medium sized bowl.
16. Add in the butter whilst the pasta is still hot.
17. Thereafter, add in the mixed herbs & toss well.
18. 
19. Place the pasta into a lunch box, or a plate. (Since I have prepared this dish for lunch, I have placed it in a lunch box).
20. Add the fried chicken steaklet over the pasta.
21. Garnish with fresh spring onions.
