Instructions
Creating Asiago Chicken Gnocchi is an easy endeavor if you follow these simple steps:
1. Cook Gnocchi: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi according to package instructions until they float, then drain and set aside.
2. Sauté Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced chicken, seasoning with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through (about 7-8 minutes).
3. Add Garlic: Once chicken is cooked, add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Make the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally, allowing it to thicken slightly.
5. Incorporate Cheese: Add the grated asiago cheese and Italian seasoning. Stir until the cheese melts and the sauce is creamy.
6. Add Gnocchi: Gently fold the cooked gnocchi into the sauce, ensuring they are covered evenly.
7. Add Spinach (Optional): If using, stir in the fresh spinach until wilted and combined.
8. Taste and Adjust: Make sure to taste the dish and adjust seasoning as needed.
9. Remove from Heat: Once everything is well combined and heated through, remove from the heat.
10. Serve and Garnish: Spoon the Asiago Chicken Gnocchi into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
