How to Make Garlic Chicken Gnocchi Skillet
  1. Begin by finely chopping the garlic and cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for about 6-8 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
  4. Reduce the heat to low, then add the heavy cream to the skillet, scraping any delightful bits stuck to the bottom.
  5. Toss in the gnocchi, stirring well until they are thoroughly coated in the creamy sauce and heated through, about 3-5 minutes.
  6. Fold in the fresh baby spinach and grated Parmesan cheese, mixing until combined and the spinach is just wilted.
  7. Serve the Garlic Chicken Gnocchi Skillet hot, offering additional Parmesan on the side if desired.
