Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 lb store-bought gnocchi
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts generously with salt, pepper, oregano, and thyme.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear the chicken for about 6–7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Once done, remove the chicken and set it aside.
- Lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute until it becomes fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, ensuring to scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Stir in the oregano and thyme. Allow the sauce to simmer for around 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Add the gnocchi to the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes until they are well-coated and warmed through.
- Slice the seared chicken, return it to the skillet, and gently mix everything together.
- Plate your delicious creation and consider garnishing with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for an extra special touch.
Notes
For a lighter version, consider using half-and-half instead of heavy cream. Fresh herbs can enhance flavor.
