Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound dried potato gnocchi
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook gnocchi according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  2. 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.
  3. Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. 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.
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in the heavy cream. Let the sauce simmer gently for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Do not boil rapidly.
  6. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened. Simmer for 1 more minute.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
