Cook gnocchi according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook until chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for 2 minutes, allowing the liquid to reduce slightly.
Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in the heavy cream. Let the sauce simmer gently for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Do not boil rapidly.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened. Simmer for 1 more minute.
Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet. Toss gently to coat everything in the creamy sauce. Simmer for 2 minutes to heat the gnocchi through.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
Ensure your chicken broth is low sodium for better flavor control.
Simmer the cream gently; high heat can cause it to separate.
Taste the sauce before adding the gnocchi and adjust salt if needed.
