Ingredients
  

Chicken and Gnocchi
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning or to taste

Prepare the Sauce
  1. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. Stir in the heavy cream and Italian seasoning, then return the chicken to the skillet.
Cook the Gnocchi
  1. Add the gnocchi to the skillet and cook according to package instructions, usually about 2-3 minutes until they float.
  2. Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
Serve

  2. Enjoy your Garlic Chicken Gnocchi Skillet warm!
