A warm, creamy one-pot dinner combining pillowy gnocchi, tender chicken, and a rich sauce for a quick, comforting meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound gnocchi (fresh, refrigerated, or frozen)
  • 1 pound chicken breast, diced into bite-size pieces
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
  • 1 cup chicken broth (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh herbs for garnish (optional — parsley or thyme)

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced chicken in a single layer. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Cook 30 seconds to bloom the spices.
  4. Add gnocchi, frozen mixed vegetables, 1 cup chicken broth, and 1 cup heavy cream to the pot. Stir to combine.
  5. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat. Cook 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gnocchi is tender and the sauce thickens.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
  7. Serve warm, garnished with chopped fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

For a lighter version, use whole milk plus 1 tablespoon cornstarch. If using frozen gnocchi, add a minute or two to the simmer time. Use rotisserie chicken to save time.
