Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Begin by chopping the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Gather all your ingredients so everything is within reach for seamless cooking.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken pieces and cook for 6-8 minutes until they're golden brown and cooked through.
- Stir in the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes, continuing to sauté for 1-2 minutes.
- Lower the heat slightly and pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 2-3 minutes until it thickens.
- Add the gnocchi and fresh spinach to the skillet, stirring until well coated and the spinach wilts.
- Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese, mixing until melted and creamy throughout.
