Making Asiago Chicken & Gnocchi is straightforward. Follow these steps to create a delicious meal:
1. Prepare Chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
2. Cook Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
3. Make Sauce: In the same skillet, add chicken broth, bringing it to a simmer. Then stir in heavy cream, Asiago cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
4. Dissolve Cheese: Whisk the mixture continuously until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
5. Cook Gnocchi: In another pot, boil water and cook gnocchi according to package instructions until they float to the top. Drain and set aside.
6. Combine Ingredients: Slice the cooked chicken and add it back into the skillet with the sauce. Stir in the gnocchi, coating it evenly with the sauce.
7. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if required.
8. Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.
