Description
Creamy Chicken Alfredo Gnocchi is a delicious and comforting dish featuring tender gnocchi, succulent chicken, and a rich Alfredo sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups potato gnocchi
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the gnocchi according to package instructions until they float to the top, about 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces, season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir to combine, then add the Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Add the cooked gnocchi and fresh spinach to the skillet, stirring gently to coat everything in the creamy sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the spinach wilts.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream.
- Add sautéed mushrooms or sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor and texture.
