Cooking Instructions

  • Season chicken with salt, pepper and paprika. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter or ghee in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the chicken thighs to the skillet and cook for about 5-10 minutes per side, until golden brown. Transfer the chicken thighs to a plate and set aside.
  • Melt the last 3 tablespoons of butter, add in the garlic, Italian seasoning and then add in the onion and mushroom. Sauté until onion is translucent and mushrooms are tender, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Whisk in the chicken broth and whisk for about 1 minute until hot. Then gradually pour in the cream, whisking continually as you pour it in. Add in the shredded mozzarella and continue whisking about 2-3 minutes until combined and beginning to thicken.
  • Stir in the cooked potato gnocchi and spinach, and add any additional salt and pepper to taste.
  • Place the chicken thighs back into the skillet and let simmer for about 2 minutes to heat chicken.
  • Garnish with parsley, parmesan and red pepper chili flakes, if desired.

Notes

Adjust seasoning as per your taste. Serve warm for best flavor.
