Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup shredded Asiago cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish optional

Equipment

  • large skillet
  • mixing bowl
  • measuring cups and spoons
  • cutting board
  • knife
  • Stirring spoon
  • Meat Thermometer

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, toss the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, and half of the Italian seasoning (about 1/2 teaspoon).
  2. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
  5. Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Make sure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Scrape the bottom of the skillet to loosen any browned bits.
  7. Add the heavy cream and the remaining Italian seasoning. Stir well to combine.
  8. Gently stir in the gnocchi. Cook according to package directions, usually about 2-3 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
  9. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the shredded Asiago cheese until melted and smooth.
  10. Garnish with fresh parsley (if desired) and serve immediately.

Notes

Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. Use freshly grated cheese for a smoother sauce. Don't overcook the gnocchi; cook it until it floats to the surface. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Add vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor and nutrition.
