Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1.5 lbs)
- 16 oz fresh gnocchi
- 1 cup freshly grated Asiago cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- Add Garlic and Spinach: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and spinach. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant and wilted.
- Create the Creamy Sauce: Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth; scrape any bits off the pan. Bring to a gentle simmer, then stir in Asiago cheese until melted.
- Cook Gnocchi: Boil water in another pot; cook gnocchi according to package instructions until they float (about 2-3 minutes). Drain well.
- Combine Everything: Add cooked gnocchi back into the skillet along with the sliced chicken; toss gently to coat.
- Serve: Garnish with additional Asiago cheese if desired, serve warm, and enjoy!
