Garlic Chicken Gnocchi Skillet

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt, pepper, and dried Italian herbs. Cook until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 2

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it – we want that gorgeous garlic flavor, not bitterness!

Step 3

Pour in the chicken broth and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. These little flavor bombs will make your sauce even more delicious!

Step 4

Add the gnocchi to the skillet and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gnocchi starts to become tender.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir gently to combine and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce starts to thicken.

Step 6

Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet along with the grated Parmesan cheese. Stir everything together until the cheese is melted and the chicken is heated through.

Step 7

Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Remember, you can always add more, but you can't take it away!
