step by step

Method

  1. Sear the chicken

    • Heat the olive oil and butter in a large pan over medium-high heat (190 °C).
    • Season the chicken with salt and black pepper, then cook until golden on all sides.
    • Remove the chicken to a plate.
    Step 1

  2. Build the sauce

    • In the same pan, cook the onion until soft.
    • Add the garlic and cook briefly.
    • Deglaze with a splash of white wine or water, then pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream.
    • Stir in the Italian seasoning and bring to a gentle simmer.
    Step 2

  3. Cook the gnocchi in the sauce

    • Drop the gnocchi directly into the pan, no boiling needed.
    • Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens from the gnocchi starch.
    Step 3

  4. Finish with Parmesan, spinach and chicken

    • Stir in the Parmesan.
    • Add the spinach and let it wilt.
    • Return the chicken to the pan and simmer gently.
