Indulge in this creamy, flavorful dish that combines tender chicken, pillowy gnocchi, and tangy sun-dried tomatoes for a delightful culinary experience.
1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Dice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
2. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add chicken and season with salt and pepper. Sauté until golden brown and fully cooked (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from skillet and set aside.
3. Add Garlic and Sun-Dried Tomatoes: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Create the Creamy Sauce: Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer, allowing it to thicken slightly (about 5 minutes). Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
5. Incorporate Gnocchi and Spinach: Add uncooked gnocchi directly to the skillet along with fresh spinach. Stir until combined; the gnocchi will absorb some of the sauce as it cooks.
6. Serve & Enjoy: Plate your creamy sun-dried tomato chicken gnocchi. Optionally garnish with grated cheese or fresh herbs before serving.
