Method
01.
Season the washed and dried chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper, then grill them in a hot griddle pan with a little olive oil until golden brown. Transfer to a baking dish and bake in an oven preheated to 200 °C for 5–8 minutes. Drizzle with lemon juice and olive oil, then leave to rest for 2 minutes. Finally, slice the breasts into thin slices.
02.
Cook the spätzle in boiling salted water until they float (2–3 minutes), then drain. Heat a little olive oil and butter in a wok or larger pan, add the finely chopped onion and garlic, season with salt and pepper and sauté over a low heat. Once the onion and garlic have softened, add the gorgonzola cut into smaller pieces and pour in the warm stock. Simmer the sauce over a low heat, stirring occasionally, until the gorgonzola has completely melted. Add the drained spätzle, pour in the cream and bring just to the boil. Finally, add the roughly chopped fresh basil leaves and stir to combine.
03.
Serve a portion of spätzle with cheese sauce in the centre of a shallow plate. Place the thinly sliced chicken breasts on top and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
