Description
A simple baked dish featuring chicken, gnocchi, spinach, and a creamy sun-dried tomato sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 lb potato gnocchi
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and chopped
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 5 ounces fresh spinach
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
- Add the chopped onion to the same skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Let the sauce simmer until it thickens slightly, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in the cooked chicken, uncooked gnocchi, and fresh spinach until the spinach wilts.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish if your skillet is not oven-safe.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the gnocchi is tender and the sauce is bubbly.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken thighs for chicken breasts if you prefer.
- If the sauce seems too thick after baking, stir in a splash of milk or extra broth before serving.
