Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs, diced

1 tablespoon olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

4 cups chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

1 lb (450g) potato gnocchi

Zest of 1 lemon

Juice of 1 lemon

2 cups fresh spinach

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Grated Parmesan cheese for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

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

    Cook the Garlic: In the same pot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

      Add Broth and Cream: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

        Add Gnocchi: Add the potato gnocchi to the pot. Stir and let it cook according to package instructions, usually around 2-3 minutes, until the gnocchi floats to the top.

          Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken to the pot along with lemon zest, lemon juice, spinach, and cherry tomatoes. Stir gently and allow everything to simmer together for another 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts.

            Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve the Lemon Chicken Gnocchi Delight hot, garnished with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
