A creamy and flavorful one-skillet dish featuring chicken, gnocchi, and garlic.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 lb potato gnocchi
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried Italian herbs
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt, pepper, and dried Italian herbs. Cook until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  4. Add the gnocchi to the skillet and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gnocchi starts to become tender.
  5. Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir gently to combine and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce starts to thicken.
  6. Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet along with the grated Parmesan cheese. Stir everything together until the cheese is melted and the chicken is heated through.
  7. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Notes

  • For added flavor, use homemade chicken broth if available.
  • Fresh basil makes an excellent garnish but can be omitted.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
