Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound chicken breast, sliced into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 package (16 oz) gnocchi
- 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Feel free to substitute the chicken with shrimp or keep it vegetarian by adding more veggies. The flexibility of this dish is part of its charm.
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Be careful not to burn it!
- Add the sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another minute, letting their flavors meld with the garlic.
- Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Add the gnocchi to the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid. Cover and cook for 5 minutes, or until the gnocchi are tender and cooked through.
- Stir in the cooked chicken, fresh spinach, and Parmesan cheese. Let everything simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach has wilted and the sauce has thickened.
- Adjust seasoning if needed and serve hot, preferably with some crusty bread to soak up all that creamy goodness.
