Instructions
Making Lemon Chicken Gnocchi is an enjoyable process. Follow these steps for a delicious outcome:
1. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season the diced chicken with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until golden brown, approximately 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
2. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
3. Make the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, mixing well. Add lemon zest and lemon juice to the sauce, letting it simmer for about 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
4. Cook the Gnocchi: Meanwhile, cook the gnocchi according to package instructions. Once they’re floating on top, they are done. Drain and set aside.
5. Combine Everything: Add the cooked chicken, gnocchi, and chopped spinach to the sauce. Stir gently to combine and heat through. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese and adjust seasoning if needed.
