Preparation
-
Wash the asparagus, remove the woody ends, and cut into 3–4 cm pieces.
-
Fry the chicken in a large pan with some olive oil over medium to high heat until golden brown (about 5-6 minutes), season, and remove.
-
In the same pan, toast the gnocchi without additional oil until they are lightly golden brown, then set aside as well.
-
Sauté asparagus and garlic, then add cherry tomatoes and peas after 2 minutes and cook until tender-crisp.
-
Deglaze with chicken broth, bring to a brief boil, and stir in quark and cream cheese until a creamy sauce forms. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg, let it simmer briefly, and fold in fresh herbs.
-
Return the chicken and gnocchi to the pan, mix everything together, and warm briefly.
Top with freshly grated Parmesan and a little lemon zest, then serve immediately.
