  • 0.5 tsp black pepper or to taste
  • 2 tbsp fresh basil for garnish

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Wooden spoon
  • Cutting board
  • Chef knife

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Season chicken with paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Cook chicken until golden brown and fully cooked, then remove and set aside.
  4. Melt butter in the skillet and sauté garlic until fragrant.
  5. Add sun-dried tomatoes and cook for 1 minute.
  6. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring well.
  7. Add gnocchi directly into the skillet and simmer until tender.
  8. Stir in parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.

Notes

Fresh parmesan cheese creates the smoothest sauce. Add extra broth if the sauce thickens too much while reheating.
