→ Main Ingredients
01 -
30 g unsalted butter
02 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
03 -
350 g chicken breast, cut into cubes
04 -
4 garlic cloves, chopped up
05 -
1 teaspoon Italian herb blend
06 -
75 ml dry white wine
07 -
400 ml chicken broth
08 -
180 g cream cheese
09 -
500 g gnocchi
10 -
100 g baby spinach, torn
11 -
30 g Parmesan, grated
12 -
Salt, to taste
13 -
Black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
# Steps:
01 -
Turn off the heat, mix in the grated Parmesan, then hit it with salt and black pepper the way you like. Dish it up while it's nice and hot.
02 -
Toss in the gnocchi and spinach, pop a lid on, and let it go for about 3-5 minutes. The gnocchi should be nice and soft, and the greens will slump down.
03 -
Drop the cream cheese into the pot and keep stirring until it completely melts and everything is silky smooth.
04 -
Pour in the white wine. Let it bubble for a minute or two so the booze cooks out. Shake in the herbs and chicken broth, then lower the heat and let it simmer.
05 -
Mix in the garlic and let it cook for about a minute so it starts smelling good.
06 -
Splash the olive oil into a roomy pan over medium, let the butter melt with it, then add the chicken. Let that cook for 4–5 minutes until you see nice golden bits.
# Notes:
01 -
Try grating your own Parmesan for better flavor and meltiness.
02 -
Keep stirring as you add the cream cheese so the sauce doesn't get lumpy.
