Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 lb potato gnocchi
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried Italian herbs

Instructions

- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer to a plate.
