Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast, diced
- 16 oz package of gnocchi
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup spinach, roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions
Cooking Steps
- Start by boiling a pot of salted water. Once it reaches a boil, add in the gnocchi and cook according to the package instructions until they float to the top. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced chicken, seasoning with salt and pepper. Sauté until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown, about 5–7 minutes.
- Toss in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream into the skillet, stirring to combine. Bring it to a gentle simmer and allow it to thicken slightly (around 5 minutes).
- Add the cooked gnocchi and spinach to the skillet. Stir well to ensure everything is well-coated.
- Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese before serving. Enjoy your creamy deliciousness!
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For freezing, let the sauce cool before transferring to a freezer-safe container. Thaw overnight and reheat in a skillet, adding a splash of cream or broth if needed.
