Instructions
Preparation Steps
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
Add chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
Add the gnocchi, chicken broth, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Return the browned chicken to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until gnocchi are cooked through and chicken is cooked through.
Stir in the frozen peas and cook for another 2 minutes until heated through.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
