Description

A cozy weeknight dinner with tender gnocchi, flavorful chicken, and a rich Parmesan-infused creamy sauce, perfect for chilly evenings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound gnocchi
  • 2 chicken breasts, diced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lemon, juiced and zested
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through—about 5–7 minutes.
  3. Toss in the gnocchi and continue cooking until they start to brown and become slightly crispy.
  4. Add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, stirring everything together.
  5. Stir in the zesty lemon juice, fragrant zest, and grated Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt into a creamy sauce.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then serve warm for a soothing, savory experience.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stove with a splash of broth to revive creaminess.
