Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 lb potato gnocchi
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese grated
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes optional
- 1 cup fresh spinach chopped
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Cook chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and slice.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add heavy cream, parmesan cheese, dried thyme, and red pepper flakes. Stir and cook until sauce thickens slightly, about 4 minutes.
- Add gnocchi to the sauce and cook according to package instructions, usually 2-3 minutes, until gnocchi float to the top.
- Stir in chopped spinach and sliced chicken, cooking until spinach wilts.
- Serve hot and garnish with extra parmesan if desired.
Notes
You can substitute spinach with kale for a different leafy green flavor. Adjust red pepper flakes to control spice level.
