How To Make Tuscan Butter Gnocchi With Chicken
Start with seasoning the chicken fillets with a little salt and pepper. Fry them until both sides are browned and chicken is nearly cooked through. Slice into small pieces and set aside.
Meanwhile, melt a little butter, fry some garlic, and add the cherry tomatoes. When they start to burst, add spinach. I used baby spinach in this Tuscan butter gnocchi dish. Once the spinach has wilted, add in cream and stir.
Let this sauce thicken slightly before you stir in chicken and gnocchi. The final part of cooking happens in the oven for about 20-25 minutes.
And there you go. Beautifully delicious gnocchi and chicken cooked in creamy Tuscan sauce. Undoubtedly, this Tuscan butter gnocchi with chicken is incredibly delicious!
