  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/3 c. dry white wine
  • 1 1/4 c. low-sodium chicken broth 
  • 1 c. heavy cream
  • Zest and juice of 1 large lemon
  • 1 tbsp. chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 tbsp. fresh thyme leaves
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes
  • 1 (17-oz.) package refrigerated gnocchi 
  • 4 c. packed baby spinach
  • 2 oz. Parmesan, finely grated (about 3/4 c.) 
  • Lemon slices, for serving (optional)

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large, high-sided skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Season chicken on both sides with salt and black pepper and cook, turning occasionally, until golden, about 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. 

  2. 2

    Reduce heat to medium. Cook onion, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Pour in wine and scrape up any browned bits from bottom of pan. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until wine is evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. 

  3. 3

    Add broth, cream, lemon zest, lemon juice, rosemary, thyme, and red pepper flakes; season with salt and black pepper. Bring to a simmer, then stir in gnocchi. Bring to a simmer and return chicken to skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer chicken to a cutting board. 

  4. 4

    Add Parmesan and spinach to sauce and stir until spinach is wilted. Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 3 minutes; season with salt and black pepper.

  5. 5

    Slice chicken and return to skillet. Top with lemon slices, if using.
