Equipment

  • large skillet

Ingredients

For the Chicken

  • 1 pound Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil

For the Sauce

  • 4 cloves Fresh Garlic minced
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream do not use low-fat
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Pepper

For the Gnocchi and Greens

  • 1 pound Gnocchi homemade or store-bought
  • 3 cups Spinach or Kale feel free to swap with other greens

For the Finish

  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
  • 2 tablespoons Butter

Instructions

Directions

  • Gather all your goodies—chop chicken into bite-sized pieces, mince garlic, and have your gnocchi ready for use.
  • In a large skillet, heat a splash of olive oil and a pat of butter over medium heat, then cook the chicken until it's golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Once the chicken is beautifully seared, stir in the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until it’s fragrant and slightly golden.
  • Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring gently to combine; allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens a tad.
  • Mix in your gnocchi and spinach (or kale) into the skillet; cook for about 5 minutes until the gnocchi is tender and everything is heated through.
  • Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the top and toss until it melts and coats the dish beautifully.

Notes

Consider adding fresh herbs like basil or parsley at the end for a delightful garnish.
