Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, diced
  • 1 package (16 ounces) potato gnocchi
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • Additional Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, season the diced chicken with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then cook the seasoned chicken until browned (5-7 minutes). Remove from skillet.
  2. In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic for about 30 seconds. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in heavy cream and Italian seasoning; allow the sauce to thicken (3-5 minutes).
  3. Add potato gnocchi to the simmering sauce; cook until they float (about 2-3 minutes).
  4. Return cooked chicken to the skillet along with fresh spinach and sun-dried tomatoes; stir gently until spinach wilts.
  5. Serve immediately garnished with chopped parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
