Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb chicken breasts, pounded thin, or thinly sliced
1 tablespoon seasoning of choice (McCormick rotisserie chicken seasoning recommended)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large shallot, thinly sliced or minced
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained
12 ounces store-bought gnocchi
2 cups chicken broth (more as needed)
1/2 cup cream
1 cup packed spinach leaves, torn into smaller pieces

Method

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large, wide skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts on both sides until evenly coated. Add chicken to the hot pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (165°F). Remove chicken and set aside.
In the same pan, add 1 tbsp olive oil, sliced shallot, and drained sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for 5 minutes until the shallots are golden and softened.
Add the gnocchi and chicken broth to the pan. Simmer for another 5 minutes, until the gnocchi are tender and have slightly puffed up.
Pour in the cream and stir to combine, creating a luscious sauce. Add the torn spinach leaves and stir until they wilt into the sauce.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Let everything simmer gently for a few more minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Serve immediately, ensuring each bowl gets a generous portion of chicken, gnocchi, and creamy sauce.

Notes

– Use a good quality rotisserie chicken seasoning for an extra flavor boost.
– Ensure your chicken is pounded thin or sliced uniformly for even cooking.
– Don’t overcook the gnocchi; they should be tender but still hold their shape.
– Add a splash more chicken broth if the sauce becomes too thick.
