chicken and gnocchi

Creamy Chicken and Gnocchi is a delicious one-skillet pasta meal with sundried tomatoes and spinach that you can make in under half an hour.

Creamy Chicken and Gnocchi

olive oil oil

chicken breast (about 2 breasts, cut into ¾ – 1 inch pieces)

italian seasoning

salt

black pepper

butter

garlic (minced)

chicken stock

heavy cream (double cream in the UK)

gnocchi

smoked paprika

sundried tomatoes (chopped)

parmesan cheese

baby spinach leaves

In a skillet (I used 12 inch stainless steel), over medium high heat, heat oil then add the chicken, and season with italian seasoning, salt and pepper and cook for 4-5 minutes. Use an instant read thermometer to cook the chicken to an internal temperature of 165°F/74°C. Remove the fully cooked chicken onto a plate and set aside.

In the same pan, melt butter and add garlic. Cook for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Deglaze the pan with chicken stock, and scrape off the bits stuck to the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon (lots of flavor!).

Add heavy cream, and drop the gnocchi, allow to simmer for 5 minutes. The sauce will reduce and thicken, and the gnocchi will be tender and done.

Lower the heat to medium-low, add smoked paprika, sundried tomatoes, and parmesan cheese. Stir to combine.

Then add the spinach, and stir again to combine and wilt the spinach (add a splash of water if needed to loosen the sauce).

Add the chicken back in and stir. Remove from heat, and serve immediately.
