You will LOVE this chicken and gnocchi.
I first made this creamy chicken and gnocchi recipe on a random Tuesday night when I was craving something cozy but didn’t want to spend hours in the kitchen. Let me tell you, the combination of flavors and the Parmesan sauce is absolutely irresistible! It has the flavors people love from “Marry Me Chicken” but as a pasta. It’s fun and a little different but still approachable for picky eaters—my family literally scraped the pan clean. Also, it’s on the table in 30 minutes, which just can’t be beat! We love to serve it with homemade baguettes and a green salad.
How to Make Creamy Chicken and Gnocchi
Follow the instructions on the gnocchi package, or I personally like to sauté my gnocchi in some butter until it’s golden on both sides. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then sear in some oil for 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until cooked through. If your chicken breasts are thick, I recommend butterflying them first. Remove chicken to a plate and cover to keep warm.In the same pan, melt butter, then sauté garlic for 30 seconds and mix in flour until smooth. Pour in broth, Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper, and sundried tomatoes and cook until the sauce has thickened. Lower heat and stir in milk, cream, and parmesan cheese.
Add chicken and gnocchi to sauce and stir to coat everything. Stir in fresh basil and garnish with extra parmesan and basil, if desired. Serve creamy chicken gnocchi immediately.
