Creamy chicken and broccoli gnocchi
Description
This recipe starts with cubed chicken breast pan-seared until golden. Onion and crushed garlic are then cooked in the same pan until fragrant and translucent. Broccoli florets are added briefly, followed by chicken stock and cream to build a sauce. The chicken returns to the pan to simmer in the sauce for 7-10 minutes until cooked through and the sauce thickens slightly.
Lemon juice is stirred in at the end, adding brightness to the creamy sauce. The cooked potato gnocchi is combined in the pan, coating each piece in the sauce. Black pepper and salt season the dish to taste.
The resulting dish is creamy and rich with tender chicken pieces, tender-crisp broccoli, and pillowy gnocchi. It can be served alone or optionally topped with grated parmesan for added flavor.
