Equipment

  • large deep skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb potato gnocchi
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1.5 lb chicken thighs boneless, skinless
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ cup onion diced
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 pint grape tomatoes halved
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 5 oz spinach
  • 1 cup chicken broth divided
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoon all purpose flour
  • ¾ cup parmesan cheese freshly grated

Instructions
 

  • Cook gnocchi according to the package instructions; drain and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken with the salt, garlic powder and smoked paprika, then place it smooth side down into the warm skillet. Pan-sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side, then transfer it to a plate.
  • Add a splash of broth to the skillet to scrape up any brown bits, then add the onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes. Add the butter and allow it to melt, then add the tomatoes, garlic and a pinch of salt and cook for 3 minutes. Last, add in the spinach and stir until it's wilted.
  • Pour the remaining broth into a bowl or glass measuring cup, along with the cream and flour; whisk to combine. Pour the sauce into the skillet and bring it to a low simmer. Slowly stir in the parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth, then simmer it for 2 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
  • Add in the cooked gnocchi and stir so that it's coated in the sauce. Nestle the chicken back into the skillet and simmer for 1-2 minutes. Garnish the whole dish with salt, pepper and extra cheese and enjoy!
