Creamy Chicken Gnocchi is a delightful dish that promises comfort and flavor in every bite, featuring tender chicken, soft gnocchi, and a rich, creamy sauce.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound chicken breast, diced
  • 1 pound gnocchi
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Sauté garlic in a large skillet with olive oil over medium heat until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  2. Cook the diced chicken until browned and cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add chicken broth and bring to a simmer, allowing flavors to mingle for about 2 minutes.
  4. Cook gnocchi according to package directions until tender, typically around 3-5 minutes.
  5. Incorporate cream cheese into the skillet, stirring until melted and combined.
  6. Finish with fresh spinach, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until spinach wilts.
  7. Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

Use boneless, skinless chicken for best results. You can substitute with turkey if desired. For a lighter option, consider using Neufchâtel cheese. Fresh spinach wilts beautifully and can be replaced with kale or Swiss chard if preferred.
