  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 Servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

 

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 lb potato gnocchi
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced (because there’s no such thing as too much garlic!)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried Italian herbs
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Sear the Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces, season with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs, and cook for about 6-8 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  2. Sauté the Garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds, ensuring it doesn’t burn, to maintain that rich, aromatic flavor.
  3. Deglaze and Simmer: Pour in the chicken broth and deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Add the gnocchi, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gnocchi starts to soften.
  4. Create the Creamy Sauce: Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
  5. Combine and Finish: Add the cooked chicken and Parmesan cheese to the skillet, stirring until the cheese melts and the chicken is heated through. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Serve: Top with fresh basil leaves for a pop of color and added flavor. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For Extra Veggies: Add spinach or sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor and nutrients.
  • Dairy-Free Option: Substitute coconut cream for heavy cream and nutritional yeast for Parmesan.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
