Print Recipe

A comforting one-pan meal featuring tender chicken, pillowy gnocchi, and vibrant spinach in a creamy garlic sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound gnocchi
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Cook the chicken breasts, seasoned with salt and pepper, until golden brown (about 6-7 minutes per side).
  3. Remove the chicken, let it rest, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Bring salted water to a boil in a separate pot and add the gnocchi, cooking until they float (about 2-3 minutes).
  5. Drain the gnocchi and set aside.
  6. Add more olive oil to the skillet if needed and sauté garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  7. Toss in spinach and stir until wilted.
  8. Pour in the heavy cream and add Italian seasoning; simmer for about 2 minutes.
  9. Combine the chopped chicken and gnocchi with the sauce, stirring gently.
  10. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper as needed.

Notes

For a lighter version, you can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or coconut cream. This dish can be made ahead of time, but combine just before serving to maintain gnocchi texture.
