Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried Italian herbs
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

For the Gnocchi:

  • 1 lb potato gnocchi
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, season with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs. Cook until golden brown, about 6-8 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  2. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Deglaze the Pan: Pour in chicken broth, scraping up browned bits from the skillet.
  4. Add Gnocchi: Add gnocchi to the skillet, simmer for 3-4 minutes until tender.
  5. Make the Sauce: Reduce heat, pour in heavy cream, simmer for 2-3 minutes to thicken.
  6. Combine and Serve: Add chicken, Parmesan cheese to skillet. Stir until cheese melts and chicken is heated through. Adjust seasoning.

Notes

  • This dish is best served immediately to enjoy the creamy sauce at its peak.
  • Feel free to add your favorite vegetables like spinach or sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor and nutrition.
  • For a lighter version, you can use half-and-half or milk instead of heavy cream.
