One Pan Creamy Chicken and Gnocchi
Soft gnocchi, chunks of chicken, and spinach in a creamy garlic sauce, topped off with parmesan cheese. A restaurant quality dish made in one skillet!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp salted butter
- ½ cup diced onion
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 Tbsp all purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups milk (I used 2%.)
- 1 cup hot water
- 1 tsp low sodium chicken bouillon I use better than bouillon
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- 4 cups cooked chicken breast shredded (1 pound)
- 1.5 oz baby spinach 2 cups
- 17.5 oz potato gnocchi
- ½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large, deep, oven safe skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for about 4 minutes, or until onions start to soften.
- Whisk in the garlic and flour, stirring until the onions are evenly coated.
- Whisk in the milk, hot water, and bouillon. Continue whisking over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil, about 5 minutes.
- Add the salt, pepper, nutmeg, chicken, spinach, and gnocchi. Cook and stir until heated through. Gnocchi should be tender and spinach should be wilted.
- Sprinkle the parmesan cheese over the top. Broil for 2-3 minutes in the oven, or until the cheese starts to brown.
Notes
-If you don't want a crispy cheese topping, you can add a lid to the pan instead, and simmer until the parmesan cheese melts.
