Garlic Chicken Gnocchi Skillet

potato

1.5-pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs

paprika

butter

yellow onion, diced

white mushrooms, diced

garlic

Italian seasoning

chicken broth

½ cup half and half (or heavy whipping cream)

mozzarella

spinach

Red pepper chili flakes,

Season chicken with salt, pepper and paprika. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter or ghee in a large skillet over medium-high heat

Add the chicken thighs to the skillet and cook for about 5-10 minutes per side, until golden brown. Transfer the chicken thighs to a plate and set aside

Melt the last 3 tablespoons of butter, add in the garlic, Italian seasoning and then add in the onion and mushroom. Sauté until onion is translucent and mushrooms are tender, about 3-4 minutes

Whisk in the chicken broth and whisk for about 1 minute until hot. Then gradually pour in the cream, whisking continually as you pour it in. Add in the shredded mozzarella and continue whisking about 2-3 minutes until combined and beginning to thicken

Stir in the cooked potato gnocchi and spinach, and add any additional salt and pepper to taste

Place the chicken thighs back into the skillet and let simmer for about 2 minutes to heat chicken

Garnish with parsley, parmesan and red pepper chili flakes, if desired

This recipe is amazing and we used gluten free gnocchi. My picky eater even ate it! Thanks for the delicious recipe, Bailey!

Oh my this was easy and quick and delicious!!!! I used and extra 1/4 c of the cheese. So super creamy and everyone in this house loved this!

I made this last night and we loved it! 
I didn’t have mushrooms but it still tasted great and had good texture. 
Thank you for this recipe and all that goes into making it.

Absolutely fantastic. Added more garlic and it was perfection!

Made this tonight. My husband and I absolutely loved it. So delicious! It’s a keeper.

I made this recipe pretty much as instructed except I used pecorino romano instead of mozzarella and I kept the gnocchi separate.  I thought the gnocchi would breakdown too much if it cooked in the sauce.  Overall, the dish was very tasty.  The sauce was not thick but I wasn’t expecting it to be.  Thanks for the recipe!

It was amazing and flavorful. Thank you 🙏

Love the gnocchi in this. It was good but a little bland. Next time I will add some wine and maybe mustard(dijon)

The family gives this one a 10/10! Will def be making this again! 

I added bacon 🙃

Amazing and easy recipe. I am fairly new to living on my own and cooking and this was very easy to do. I’ll definitely be repeating this one and making it for guests. Boyfriend approved also.

I kind of eyeballed the ingredients and added more liquid so we so it was a little more saucy. Delicious! Even my kids enjoyed it!
