Ingredients
3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
16 oz package potato gnocchi
2 cups fresh spinach
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Remove chicken and set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté the minced garlic until fragrant.
- Add spinach and cook until wilted.
- Stir in gnocchi, chicken broth, and lemon juice. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Return chicken to the skillet, cover, and cook for 5 more minutes until chicken is heated through and gnocchi is tender.
- Serve warm, with extra lemon juice drizzled on top if desired.
Notes
Swap chicken with shrimp, salmon, or tofu for a different protein.
Add cherry tomatoes or asparagus for more flavor and color.
Use kale or arugula instead of spinach for a bolder taste.
Stir in a splash of cream for a richer sauce.
Use vegetable broth for a vegetarian version.
