Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast, diced
- 1 pound gnocchi
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Sauté garlic in a large skillet with olive oil over medium heat until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Cook the diced chicken until browned and cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Add chicken broth and bring to a simmer, allowing flavors to mingle for about 2 minutes.
- Cook gnocchi according to package directions until tender, typically around 3-5 minutes.
- Incorporate cream cheese into the skillet, stirring until melted and combined.
- Finish with fresh spinach, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until spinach wilts.
- Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
Notes
Use boneless, skinless chicken for best results. You can substitute with turkey if desired. For a lighter option, consider using Neufchâtel cheese. Fresh spinach wilts beautifully and can be replaced with kale or Swiss chard if preferred.
