  • Author: Clara Walker
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 package (16 oz) potato gnocchi
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1 lemon (zest and juice)
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Lemon Chicken Gnocchi is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Cook the Gnocchi: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the gnocchi according to package instructions. Once they float to the surface, drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Chicken: While the gnocchi is cooking, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
3. Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté the Garlic: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Add Chicken Broth: Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring to a simmer.
6. Add Lemon: Stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice. Allow to cook for 2-3 minutes to incorporate the flavors.
7. Creamy Sauce: Reduce the heat to low and add the heavy cream and Italian seasoning. Stir well and let simmer for another 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
8. Combine Everything: Slice the cooked chicken and return it to the skillet along with the gnocchi. Toss everything together until well coated in the sauce.
9. Season to Taste: Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
10. Garnish: Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
