Directions:

How to:

  • Cut the chicken in half lengthwise. Season each piece with garlic powder and lemon pepper seasoning.
  • Add oil and butter to a skillet (fry pan) over medium-high heat. Once it’s hot, add the chicken and sear it on both sides, about 5-6 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add the garlic to the skillet. Cook for just 30 seconds.
  • Stir in chicken broth and lemon juice and whisk to remove brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Whisk in the cream.
  • Now add the gnocchi to the skillet and stir. Make sure the gnocchi is submerged in the liquid. Allow it to cook at a simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • The starch from the gnocchi will thicken the sauce, so don’t let it get too thick. If necessary, thin it with a little water or broth.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the parmesan cheese and spinach. Stir and let sit until the spinach wilts. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Then add the chicken back to the pan and let it heat back up for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with more grated parmesan and lemon zest.
  • Ensure that the chicken is well-seasoned with garlic powder and lemon pepper before searing. This will enhance the overall flavor of the dish and create a delicious crust on the chicken.
  • Keep an eye on the gnocchi as it cooks in the sauce. The starch released will thicken the sauce, so stir occasionally and adjust the consistency with a splash of water or broth if it gets too thick.
  • To preserve the vibrant color and nutrients of the spinach, add it at the end of cooking. This will allow it to wilt gently without losing its freshness, ensuring a delicious balance in every bite.
