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 olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, season with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs, and cook until golden and cooked through, about 6–8 minutes. Remove and set aside.

2. In the same skillet, sauté garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.

3. Pour in chicken broth, scraping up browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

4. Add gnocchi and simmer for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally until tender.

5. Reduce heat and add heavy cream. Stir and let it simmer for 2–3 minutes to thicken.

6. Return chicken to the skillet and add Parmesan cheese. Stir until melted and well combined.

7. Taste and adjust seasoning. Garnish with fresh basil and serve hot.

Notes

• Substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or milk for a lighter version.

• Look for gluten-free gnocchi if needed.

• Add spinach or sun-dried tomatoes for extra color and flavor.

• Leftovers reheat well for lunch the next day.
