Creamy Chicken Gnocchi

_{Step 1/4}

Prepare the Gnocchi

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 2-3 minutes or until they float to the surface. Drain and set aside.

_{Step 2/4}

Cook the Chicken

While the gnocchi is cooking, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season diced chicken with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper and add it in the pan. Cook until it is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Prepare the Sauce

In the same skillet, add another teaspoon of olive oil and add in the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring for about a minute to cook out flour taste and create more flavor. Gradually whisk in the milk and chicken broth, stirring constantly until there are no lumps. Bring to a simmer for about 5 minutes to allow sauce to thicken. Stir in the dried basil and chopped spinach. Cook until the spinach wilts, about 2 minutes.
