Ingredients

  • 1 pound chicken breast, diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 cups spinach, fresh
  • 1 pound gnocchi, store-bought
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, adjust to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the diced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Sauté Garlic and Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the cherry tomatoes and spinach, cooking until the spinach wilts.
  3. Add Gnocchi: Stir in the gnocchi and return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour in the heavy cream and mix everything together. Let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes until the gnocchi is heated through and the sauce thickens slightly.
  4. Finish and Serve: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and mix until melted. Garnish with fresh basil if desired. Serve hot and enjoy your Garlic Chicken Gnocchi Skillet!
