Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
– 1 pound gnocchi (store-bought or homemade)
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup spinach (fresh or frozen)
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon pepper
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Here’s how you can create the Garlic Chicken Gnocchi Skillet with ease:

1. Prepare the Ingredients: Start by cubing the chicken and mincing the garlic. Measure out all the other ingredients for quick access.
2. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
3. Cook the Chicken: Add the cubed chicken to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
4. Sauté the Garlic: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
5. Add Chicken Broth: Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Bring it to a simmer.
6. Incorporate Cream: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream along with the Italian seasoning.
7. Add Gnocchi: Add gnocchi to the skillet, stirring well to combine. Cook according to package instructions, usually 2-3 minutes until they float.
8. Return Chicken: Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet, incorporating it into the sauce.
9. Stir in Spinach: Once the chicken is heated through, add the spinach and cook until wilted.
10. Finish with Cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
11. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
