→ Main ingredients
01 -
1 pound gnocchi made from potatoes
02 -
1 pound chicken breasts, boneless and skinless, diced
03 -
6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
04 -
1 cup chicken stock
05 -
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
06 -
1 cup heavy cream
07 -
2 tablespoons olive oil
→ Seasonings and garnish
08 -
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning blend, dried
09 -
Freshly cracked black pepper and salt, as needed
10 -
Fresh basil leaves for topping
# Instructions:
01 -
Heat oil in a big pan over medium heat. Sprinkle the chicken chunks with black pepper, salt, and Italian herbs. Sauté until they're golden on the outside and fully cooked inside, about 6-8 minutes. Take out and put aside.
02 -
Using the same pan, stir the minced garlic for 30 seconds until it smells amazing, but don't let it burn.
03 -
Pour in the chicken stock, scraping the pan to release any stuck pieces. Add the gnocchi and stir occasionally for about 3-4 minutes until they soften a bit.
04 -
Turn the heat down to low-medium and gently stir in the heavy cream. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes so the sauce thickens slightly.
05 -
Add the chicken back into the pan along with Parmesan. Mix well until the cheese melts and everything heats up. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
# Notes:
01 -
Swap heavy cream with milk or half-and-half for a lighter option
02 -
You can use gluten-free gnocchi if preferred
03 -
The browned bits from sautéing the chicken add a lot of flavor to the dish
