Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 30 g 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 350 g 12 oz chicken breast, diced
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 75 ml ⅓ cup dry white wine
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning mix
  • 400 ml 1 ½ cups chicken stock
  • 180 g 6.3 oz cream cheese
  • 500 g 1 lb gnocchi
  • 100 g 3.5 oz baby spinach, roughly shredded
  • 30 g ¼ cup grated Parmesan
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Cook the Chicken: Heat a splash of olive oil in a spacious skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken, seasoning it with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is browned and fully cooked. Once done, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
  • Prepare the Sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about a minute until it becomes aromatic. Pour in the white wine, allowing it to simmer for 2-3 minutes while gently scraping the caramelized bits off the skillet's surface.
  • Combine the Ingredients : Stir in Italian seasoning and chicken stock, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  • Cook the Gnocchi : Add gnocchi directly to the skillet. Stir to coat in the sauce and cook for 3–5 minutes, until the gnocchi is tender and the sauce thickens slightly.
  • Add Spinach and Chicken : Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Stir in the shredded spinach and grated Parmesan, cooking until the spinach wilts, about 2 minutes.
  • Season and Serve : Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper. Serve hot, garnished with additional Parmesan and freshly ground pepper.
