Chicken with Gnocchi
  1. 1

    Place the bacon and onion in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chicken and 1/2 of the lemon juice, and cook until the centers are no longer pink and the juices run clear, 5 to 7 minutes per side.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, combine balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, rosemary, red pepper flakes, and the remaining lemon juice in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the mixture bubbles, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the tomatoes with some of their juice and continue simmering while the chicken finishes cooking.

  4. 4

    Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat. Pan-fry the gnocchi in the hot butter until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes.

  5. 5

    Set a steamer insert into a saucepan and add water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring the water to a boil. Add the spinach, cover, and steam until tender, 2 to 6 minutes.

  6. 6

    Arrange the bacon and onion on a serving plate and layer the spinach, gnocchi, and chicken on top, in that order. Drizzle with the tomato-balsamic sauce.
