Ingredients
1 lb chicken breast (pounded or sliced into cutlets)
2 tbsp olive oil (divided)
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
4 tbsp unsalted butter (divided)
2 shallots (thinly sliced)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
3 tbsp flour (gluten-free if needed)
½ cup chicken broth
2 cups milk
½ cup heavy cream
1 lb uncooked potato gnocchi
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss chicken with 1 tbsp olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Heat remaining olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden (internal temp just under 165°F). Remove and rest.
In the same pan, melt 1 tbsp butter. Add shallots and cook 2–3 minutes until soft. Stir in garlic and cook 1–2 minutes.
Add remaining butter and melt. Sprinkle in flour and stir to form a roux.
Whisk in chicken broth, milk, and cream. Cook until smooth, bubbling, and thickened.
Turn off heat. Dice chicken and return to pan with uncooked gnocchi. Stir to coat.
Top with mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
Bake 12–15 minutes until cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden. Rotate pan if needed for even browning.
Notes
Don’t overcook chicken initially—it will finish cooking in the oven.
Stir occasionally while baking to ensure even cooking of gnocchi.
Add spinach or broccoli for extra veggies.
For extra flavor, finish with fresh parsley or cracked black pepper.
