Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 16 oz gnocchi (fresh or store-bought)
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from skillet and let rest.
- In the same skillet, add more olive oil if needed. Sauté minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant, then add chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another minute.
- Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth; stir continuously until combined. Bring to a gentle simmer and add Italian seasoning; simmer for 3-5 minutes.
- Return cooked chicken to the skillet along with any juices from the plate. Add cooked gnocchi and gently stir until evenly coated in the sauce.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If too thick, add more broth gradually until desired consistency is reached.
- Serve immediately, garnished with freshly chopped parsley or grated Parmesan cheese.
