Ingredients

Scale

1 lb fresh gnocchi
3–4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
2 tsp dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups fresh spinach (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then cook for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet.
In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic and dried herbs for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring gently. Bring to a simmer until it thickens slightly.
Add the gnocchi and cooked chicken back to the skillet, stirring to coat everything in the creamy sauce for about 4-5 minutes.
Toss in fresh spinach and Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and well combined.
Serve hot and enjoy!
