Chicken and Gnocchi in Lemon Sauce

This sauce is seriously finger licking good! I love how simple and quick this dish is. The flavors are absolutely amazing together. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

-5 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless, cut into chunks

-1 tsp salt

-1 tsp pepper

-1 tsp garlic powder

-1 tsp paprika

-1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

-3 Tbs butter

-4 garlic cloves, minced

-1 lemon (zest half of it and juice the entire lemon)

-2 tsp dried parsley leaves

-1 cup chicken broth

-1 lb gnocchi

-1/4 cup heavy cream

Directions:

Coat large skillet with cooking spray and heat it up. Once heated, add the chicken chunks. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and red pepper flakes. Give it a good stir and quickly brown on all sides. 

Remove chicken onto a plate and return the skillet to the stove. Add the butter and let it melt. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in the zest from half of the lemon and the juice from the entire lemon. Add the parsley and chicken broth. Mix well and bring yo a simmer. 

Toss it the gnocchi and cooked chicken. Cook for a couple of minutes.

Finally, stir in the cream. Give it one last good stir and cook for one more minute. Enjoy!
