Garlic Chicken Gnocchi Skillet is a hearty and flavorful one-pan meal combining tender chicken, soft gnocchi, and a creamy garlic sauce for a comforting dinner option.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced
  • 1 lb potato gnocchi
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Season the diced chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, then cook until golden and fully cooked. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant.
  4. Add the gnocchi and cook for 2-3 minutes until lightly golden.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine.
  6. Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
  7. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and baby spinach, cooking until the spinach wilts.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use pre-cooked gnocchi to speed up the process.
  • For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream.
  • Add mushrooms or sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor.
