Ingredients
  

1 lb chicken breast, diced

1 tablespoon olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups chicken broth

1 package (16 oz) gnocchi

1 cup heavy cream

Juice and zest of 1 lemon

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Salt and pepper to taste

2 cups fresh spinach

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Sauté Chicken: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced chicken breast and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove from the pot and set aside.

    Sauté Garlic: In the same pot, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

      Add Liquid: Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Scrape any browned bits off the bottom of the pot for added flavor.

        Cook Gnocchi: Add the gnocchi to the simmering broth. Let it cook for about 3-5 minutes or until the gnocchi begins to float to the surface.

          Combine Ingredients: Stir in the heavy cream, lemon juice, lemon zest, thyme, rosemary, and the cooked chicken. Bring the mixture back to a gentle simmer.

            Add Spinach: Gently fold in the fresh spinach, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until wilted.

              Finish Dish: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if desired.

                Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm. Enjoy your delightful one-pot lemon chicken gnocchi!
