Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb gnocchi (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (diced)
- 6 slices thick-cut bacon (chopped)
- 4 cups fresh baby spinach
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Cooking
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook chopped bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic for 1 minute before adding diced chicken. Cook until golden brown and cooked through.
- Add fresh spinach to the skillet and stir until wilted.
- Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth; stir until combined and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Add uncooked gnocchi directly into the skillet and cook until they float (about 3-5 minutes).
- Stir in freshly grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
- Serve hot and enjoy this delightful dish!
Notes
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 3 to 4 days. When reheating, you may need to add a splash of chicken broth or cream to loosen the sauce. Tip: Use fresh gnocchi if possible, and consider adding Italian herbs like oregano or basil for extra flavor.
