Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp butter
  • ½ lb chicken breast diced into 1" bites
  • ¼ cup garlic diced
  • 2 cups shiitake mushrooms sliced
  • 1 lb gnocchi
  • 2 cups baby spinach fresh
  • ¼ cup basil cut into thin strips
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes diced
  • 1 tsp salt celtic sea salt
  • 1 tsp pepper freshly cracked
  • 1 cup half and half
  • ½ cup parmesan grated
  • 1 cup water

Instructions

  • In a large nonstick pan, melt butter until foamy. 
  • Add chicken to pan, and cook, stirring occasionally to prevent burning, until golden brown. 
  • Add tomatoes, garlic and mushrooms, cook until garlic is fragrant and soft and mushrooms have started to brown, about 3 minutes. 
  • Pour in water and gnocchi. 
  • Let gnocchi soak up water and reduce, about 4 minutes on high. 
  • Reduce heat to medium and add spinach, basil, salt and pepper and stir well. 
  • Let spinach cook down, another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning or sticking. 
  • Turn heat off and add in cream, stirring vigorously as you add. 
  • Return to medium heat and stir in parmesan cheese. 
  • When parmesan is melted and cream sauce is thick, remove from heat and serve immediately.
