Instructions
Roast the Chicken
- Preheat the oven to 425F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

- Brush them with olive oil and sprinkle with the seasoning. Repeat on both sides.
- Bake the chicken breasts in the preheat oven for 15-18 minutes. The internal temperature in the thickest part of the breast should be at least 165F.
Making the Sauce and Cook the Gnocchi
- While the chicken is cooking, make the sauce and cook the gnocchi.
- In a large skillet on medium heat, melt the butter and drizzle in the olive oil.
- Once the butter starts foaming, add the minced garlic to the pan. Cook for a couple minute.
- Pour the chicken broth, the cream, and the lemon juice into the pan. Add in the freshly cracked pepper and stir to combine.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer and stir in the gnocchi. Turn the heat down to low. Place the lid on the skillet and cook the gnocchi for 2-3 minutes.
- Take the lid off of the skillet and and keep cooking the sauce until it thickens. Add the grated parmesan to the gnocchi and stir until melted.
- Slice the cooked chicken and serve on top of the gnocchi. Grate extra parmesan on top and serve with a wedge of lemon.
