Ingredients
  

Chicken and Gnocchi
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 lb gnocchi store-bought or homemade
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for cooking chicken
  • 1 cup chicken broth low sodium preferred
  • 1 cup heavy cream for sauce
  • 1 cup Asiago cheese shredded
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp salt to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped for garnish

Method
 

Cook the Chicken
  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Prepare the Sauce
  1. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add the heavy cream and stir to combine.
  2. Gradually whisk in the Asiago cheese until melted and smooth. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet.
Cook the Gnocchi
  1. In a pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook according to package instructions until they float to the top, about 2-3 minutes. Drain and add to the skillet with the sauce.
  2. Gently toss the gnocchi in the sauce until well coated. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
Serve
  1. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
