Chicken and Bacon Gnocchi: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Chef Mia
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound gnocchi (fresh or packaged)
– 2 chicken breasts, diced
– 6 strips of bacon, chopped
– 2 cups heavy cream
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Chicken and Bacon Gnocchi is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Cook the Bacon: In a large skillet over medium heat, fry the chopped bacon until crispy. Once cooked, remove the bacon and set it aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.

2. Cook the Chicken: In the same skillet, add the diced chicken breasts. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Sauté until the chicken is browned and fully cooked.

3. Add the Cream and Broth: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing the flavors to meld.

4. Cook the Gnocchi: While the sauce simmers, cook the gnocchi according to the package instructions. They typically take about 2-3 minutes to float to the surface of boiling water.

5. Combine Everything: Once the gnocchi is cooked, drain and add it to the skillet with the sauce. Stir in the crispy bacon and grated Parmesan, mixing everything until evenly combined.

6. Simmer: Let the dish simmer for a few additional minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the gnocchi well.

7. Serve: Once ready, taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Transfer the Chicken and Bacon Gnocchi to serving bowls or a large dish.
