Instructions

Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. (see notes).
Add the chicken, season with salt and pepper and cook until it starts to brown, should take 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the shallots, garlic and sun dried tomatoes. Stir and cook for 1 to 2 minuets.
Add the half and half cream, chicken broth and stir. Bring to a simmer then stir in the uncooked gnocchi. Cook until gnocchi are tender, and sauce has thickened, should take about 4 to 5 minutes, they should also absorb and thicken the sauce.
Add spinach and fold into the mixture until wilted. Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper if needed.
Stir in the cheeses, cheese should melt almost immediately.

Notes

I reserved the oil from the sun dried tomatoes and used that instead of the olive oil for some extra flavor, but olive oil can be used as well.
Half and half can be found near the milk and cream in the dairy section of your local grocery store. Half and half is a blend of equal parts whole milk and light cream. It averages 10 to 12% of fat.
Store-bought gnocchi works well for this recipe. Look for it in the pasta aisle of your local grocery store.
Feel free to add more veggies or swap the chicken for another protein like shrimp or sausage for variation.
Using freshly grated cheese will ensure a smoother texture, as pre-shredded cheese often contains additives to prevent clumping which can affect the creaminess of your sauce.
