Ingredients
1 lb chicken breast, diced
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 lb gnocchi, cooked
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
-
Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes until browned on all sides. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
-
Sauté the Garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
-
Make the Creamy Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Add the grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce thickens slightly.
-
Combine the Chicken and Gnocchi: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the cooked gnocchi and stir everything together. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the gnocchi is heated through and well coated in the creamy sauce.
-
Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for some heat.
