Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning divided
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 lemon juiced
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 pound potato gnocchi
- 1 1/2 cups baby kale
Instructions
- Prep the chicken. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning.
- Cook the chicken. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken once the pan is hot and cook for 5-7 minutes. Flip the chicken and add the butter to the skillet. Cook for an additional 7 minutes or until the internal temperature is 165°F. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
- Make the sauce and cook the gnocchi. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Deglaze the pan with the chicken broth and lemon juice. Use a spatula to scrape up the bits on the bottom of the skillet. Add the heavy cream and the remaining teaspoon of Old Bay Seasoning. Add the gnocchi and cook for 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Turn off the heat and add the kale. Stir until wilted.
- Serve. Add the chicken back to the pan and serve hot.
Notes
- Make sure to cut the chicken into evenly sized pieces. You can butterfly cut them if they're thick, or pound them out with a mallet if you'd like.
- Keep an eye on the gnocchi! They cook quickly, and you don't want them to turn mushy.
- Freshly squeezed lemon juice adds a really nice flavor and is much better than using the pre-squeezed lemon juice from the grocery store.
- Don't crowd the pan with the chicken. Give your chicken some room so it turns golden brown. Cook it in batches if you need to.
