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 (low-sodium preferrable)
- 1/2 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 (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the bite-sized chicken pieces, seasoning with salt, pepper, and dried Italian herbs. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
- Add the gnocchi and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until tender.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir gently and let simmer for 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens.
- Add the cooked chicken and Parmesan cheese, stirring until cheese melts and chicken is heated through. Adjust seasoning if needed.
- Garnish with fresh basil leaves and enjoy warm.
Notes
For a vegan option, substitute chicken with chickpeas and use coconut cream in place of heavy cream.
