Description

Cozy and creamy chicken gnocchi made in one skillet with parmesan and spinach, ready in under 30 minutes.


Ingredients

Scale

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp Italian seasoning

2 cups chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

1 lb potato gnocchi

1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

1 cup fresh spinach

1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)


Instructions

1. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced chicken, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Cook 5-6 minutes until golden and cooked through.

2. Stir in minced garlic and 1 tsp Italian seasoning. Cook 30 seconds until fragrant.

3. Pour in 2 cups chicken broth and 1 cup heavy cream. Bring to a gentle simmer.

4. Add 1 lb potato gnocchi. Cook 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until gnocchi are tender and sauce begins to thicken.

5. Stir in 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese and 1 cup fresh spinach. Cook 1-2 minutes until spinach wilts and sauce is creamy.

6. Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

For extra richness, let the sauce simmer an additional 1-2 minutes to thicken before adding the spinach.
