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.

Step-by-Step Instructions

17 Steps
  1. Step 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. Step 2

    Add in about a tablespoon of rough salt.

  3. Step 3

    Once the water is at a boil, drop in the pasta.

  4. Step 4

    Add in the cooking oil. This helps the pasta from not sticking together.

  5. Step 5

    This cooks in about 10-15 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    In the meantime, heat a pan or skillet & drop in a teaspoon of cooking oil.

  7. Step 7

    Fry the chicken steaklet. I usually get the Country Fair ones with garlic sauce inside of them.

  8. Step 8

    Fry each side for about 3-4 minutes. Careful not to spill the sauce inside the steaklet.

  9. Step 9

    When fried, place on a paper towel to drain off excess oil.

    Strain the pasta in a colander.
