Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut into bite-sized pieces
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 small onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 pound store-bought gnocchi
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1.5 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- fresh basil or parsley chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Season chicken pieces with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken on both sides, until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes per side. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add butter and diced onion and sauté over medium heat until it becomes translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
- Whisk in flour for about 1 minute. Pour in the chicken broth slowly, whisking until slightly thickened. Stir in heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir well to combine.
- Add the gnocchi and baby spinach to the skillet and cook until the spinach has wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Return the browned chicken to the skillet.
- Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh basil or parsley, and serve immediately.
