1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into small chunks
02 -
1 cup of chicken broth
03 -
2 tablespoons of olive oil
04 -
6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
05 -
1 cup of heavy cream

→ Spices and toppings
08 -
A teaspoon of Italian seasoning blend
09 -
Freshly ground black pepper and salt, as you like
10 -
Fresh basil leaves for topping
# Instructions:
01 -
Warm olive oil in a big skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle chicken pieces with Italian spices, salt, and pepper. Cook for 6-8 minutes until golden and fully cooked, then take them out of the skillet and set aside.
02 -
Using the same skillet, toss in the chopped garlic and stir for about 30 seconds. Don’t let it burn.
03 -
Pour in chicken broth and use a spoon to scrape up any stuck bits at the bottom of the skillet. Drop in the gnocchi, let it cook on a simmer, and stir every now and then for about 3-4 minutes until it starts softening.
04 -
Turn the heat down to medium-low, then pour in the heavy cream. Give it a gentle stir and let it cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
05 -
Put the chicken back into the skillet and mix in the Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese has melted and the chicken’s warmed through. Adjust the taste with a bit more salt and pepper, if needed.
# Notes:
01 -
Swap out the heavy cream with milk or half-and-half for a lighter option
02 -
Use gluten-free gnocchi if you need to avoid gluten
03 -
The browned bits in the pan from cooking chicken pack extra flavor
