Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

1 lb chicken breast, diced
1 package (16 oz) gnocchi
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup spinach, fresh
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

Cook Gnocchi: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the gnocchi according to package instructions until they float. Drain and set aside.
    Sauté Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
      Sauté Garlic and Tomatoes: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cherry tomatoes. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the tomatoes begin to soften.
        Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, stir in the spinach, red pepper flakes, and oregano. Cook for another 2 minutes until the spinach wilts.
          Make Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.
            Add Gnocchi and Cream: Stir in the cooked gnocchi and heavy cream, mixing well to combine. Let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
              Finish with Cheese: Remove from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
                Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your delicious Garlic Chicken Gnocchi Skillet!
