Description
Imagine a comforting, creamy dish that transports your taste buds to the heart of Tuscany. Introducing the Creamy Tuscan Chicken Gnocchi Skillet – a harmonious blend of tender chicken, pillowy potato gnocchi, and a luscious, garlic-infused sauce that will have you craving seconds.
Ingredients
- Chicken Thighs: Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- Gnocchi: Potato gnocchi
- Heavy Cream: Rich and indulgent heavy cream
- Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Flavorful little gems
- Spinach: Fresh baby spinach
- Parmesan Cheese: Grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
1. 1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and sauté chopped chicken thighs until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
2. 2. In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth, bringing to a simmer. Stir in sun-dried tomatoes and spinach, letting the sauce thicken for about 2-3 minutes.
3. 3. Add cooked chicken and uncooked gnocchi to the creamy sauce. Stir gently and let gnocchi cook in the sauce for 5-7 minutes, or until tender.
4. 4. Just before serving, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top and stir to incorporate.
Notes
For the best texture, opt for boneless, skinless chicken thighs.
When adding gnocchi, do so uncooked to absorb flavors.
Consider adding fresh herbs like basil or thyme for enhanced flavor.
