Make this rich and savory dish featuring tender chicken and soft potato gnocchi coated in a homemade garlic cream sauce. This recipe is quick enough for a weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound potato gnocchi
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Add the minced garlic to the same skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Do not let the garlic burn.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 1 minute.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium. Stir in the heavy cream and Italian seasoning. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
  5. Add the gnocchi to the simmering sauce. Cook according to package directions, usually 3-5 minutes, until the gnocchi float to the top.
  6. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and thickened. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
  7. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Toss everything gently to coat.
  8. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, simmer uncovered for an extra 2-3 minutes after adding the cream.
  • You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts if you prefer darker meat.
  • For a slight tang, add 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard to the sauce with the heavy cream.
