Chicken with Gnocchi

I made this at the request of DD2 for dinner on the first day of school yesterday.  It was delicious and not as complicated to make as the recipe may seem

Gnocchi (I used store bought potato gnocchi)

1 chicken breast per person, seasoned with salt and pepper, sliced into think strips

Marinate chicken in
juice of 1/2 lemon
1 clove garlic, minced,
2 stalks rosemary
Marinate chicken for at least an hour for the best flavor (overnight works too)

Julienne
1 medium zucchini
1 red pepper
1 medium onion cut into large slices and halved

Sauce:
Mix together the following
1 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 cup ricotta (I used low fat cottage cheese)
1 pint heavy cream

Prepare gnocchi according to package directions (place in boiling water for about 3 minutes or until the float to the top)

In the mean time,
Saute vegetables in a couple of tablespoons olive oil until tender, do not brown
Add chicken, turn up the heat and allow to cook until browned on all sides
Add cheese sauce and allow to thicken,
add drained gnocchi
Serve immediately!

The family declared this was delicious and I agreed!
