Bereiding

  1. Season the chicken

    • Cut the chicken breasts in half horizontally to make thin cutlets.
    • Season both sides generously with lemon pepper seasoning and garlic powder.
    • Add salt if your lemon pepper seasoning is unsalted.
    Stap 1
  2. Pan-fry the chicken

    • Heat the butter and olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat.
    • Pan-fry the chicken in batches of two so the pan isn't overcrowded, until cooked through to 165 °F internally.
    • Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside.
    Stap 2
  3. Start the lemon sauce

    • Add the minced garlic to the same pan and sauté briefly.
    • Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping the bottom of the pan to lift the browned bits.
    Stap 3
  4. Simmer the gnocchi

    • Pour in the heavy whipping cream and stir.
    • Add the gnocchi and make sure they are fully submerged.
    • Bring to a gentle bubble and cook until the gnocchi are tender.
    Stap 4
  5. Finish with parmesan and spinach

    • Remove the pan from the heat.
    • Stir in the shredded parmesan and the baby spinach until the spinach wilts.
    • Season with salt and pepper.
    Stap 5
  6. Add the chicken and serve

    • Return the chicken breasts to the pan and spoon the sauce over the top.
    • Garnish with lemon and serve.
