Creamy Asiago Chicken Gnocchi

Creamy Asiago Chicken Gnocchi

A cozy one-skillet chicken and gnocchi dinner with tender seared chicken, soft potato gnocchi, spinach, and a rich asiago cream sauce.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 pounds chicken cutlets, thinly sliced
  • 16 ounces potato gnocchi, shelf-stable or refrigerated
  • 1 cup freshly grated asiago cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, loosely packed
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Warm a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  3. Add olive oil to the skillet and sear the chicken for 4 to 5 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
  4. Add butter and garlic to the same skillet and stir for about 30 seconds.
  5. Pour in chicken broth and scrape up the browned bits from the pan.
  6. Stir in heavy cream and gnocchi. Simmer for 5 to 6 minutes, until the gnocchi is tender and the sauce thickens slightly.
  7. Add the asiago cheese and stir until melted and smooth.
  8. Fold in the spinach until just wilted.
  9. Slice the chicken and return it to the skillet. Taste and season with the remaining salt if needed.
  10. Serve warm with chopped parsley on top.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated asiago for the smoothest sauce.
  • Keep the sauce at a gentle simmer so it stays creamy.
  • Add a splash of broth or cream when reheating leftovers.
  • For extra brightness, add a small squeeze of lemon before serving.
