Description

A comforting and creamy dish featuring tender chicken and soft gnocchi in a rich sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breast, cooked and shredded
  • 1 package gnocchi (16 oz)
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Gnocchi: Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the gnocchi and cook them according to the package instructions until they gracefully float to the top. Drain and set aside.
  2. Combine Ingredients in Skillet: In a large skillet heated over medium, combine the shredded chicken, chicken broth, heavy cream, cream cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix everything together until evenly combined.
  3. Heat Through: Allow your mixture to simmer, stirring occasionally for about 5–7 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  4. Fold in Gnocchi: Carefully fold in the cooked gnocchi, ensuring each piece is coated in the sauce.
  5. Season and Serve: Taste your creation and season with salt and pepper. Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

You can prepare the chicken and sauce a day in advance and refrigerate.
