Ingredients

Chicken: 1 teaspoon butter

2 teaspoons olive oil

2 (8-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breasts

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Gnocchi: 2 teaspoons butter

1 pound gnocchi

Vegetables: 2 cups bite-sized broccoli florets

1 zucchini, sliced into thin ribbons

1 yellow squash, cut into half moons

1/2 cup quartered mushrooms

1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup diced red bell pepper

Cream Sauce: 2 teaspoons butter

2 tablespoons minced shallot (about 1 shallot)

1 cup chicken broth

3/4 cup half-and-half

1/4 cup heavy cream

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon lemon juice, or more to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Sear 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
  2. Add 2 teaspoons butter to skillet. Sauté gnocchi for 3–4 minutes until lightly golden; remove and set aside.
  3. Add broccoli, zucchini, yellow squash, mushrooms, Italian seasoning, and garlic to skillet. Cook 3–4 minutes until just tender. Stir in red bell pepper; cook 1 minute more. Remove vegetables and set aside.
  4. Melt 2 teaspoons butter in skillet. Add shallot; sauté 1–2 minutes until softened. Sprinkle in flour; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  5. Gradually whisk in chicken broth, half-and-half, and heavy cream. Simmer 3–4 minutes until thickened. Stir in lemon juice.
  6. Return gnocchi and vegetables to skillet; toss to coat in sauce. Slice chicken and arrange on top.
  7. Simmer 1–2 minutes to heat through. Adjust seasoning and serve immediately.

Notes

Use spinach, kale, asparagus, peas, or green beans instead of broccoli for variation.

Swap chicken for shrimp or salmon for a seafood twist.

Make it vegetarian by skipping chicken and adding extra vegetables.

Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.

Use gluten-free gnocchi and flour for a gluten-free version.
