What Type Of Chicken Used While Making Gnocchi
For this recipe you must prefer to get a boneless and skinless type chicken which is already been cooked and diced because it makes this recipe come together more easily You can cook it in a little bit of olive oil until it’s just done. Add a little salt and pepper to it if you like.
Moreover there is an another option that you can buy it pre-shredded chicken from your near mega store or grocerry store It tends to be more expensive, but can be worth it. The only drawbacks are that you’re going to have shredded chicken instead of nice, little, bite-size cubes in your soup and sometimes I think that this kind of chicken tends to have a little bit of a chewier texture than when it’s been more recently cooked.
