Description

This creamy chicken gnocchi dish is a delightful and comforting meal, perfect for any night of the week.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
  • 1 lb fresh gnocchi
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic and rinse the spinach.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken seasoned with salt and pepper; cook for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic for about 30 seconds, then add the gnocchi and cook until slightly browned.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth; simmer until combined.
  5. Add spinach and both cheeses; stir until melted and creamy. Adjust seasoning if necessary, then serve hot.

Notes

  • For a lighter option, you can use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
