Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 16 ounces gnocchi
  • 2 cups chicken broth

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.
