Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Heat a splash of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped chicken breast and cook for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
  2. Lower the heat to medium, add the cream cheese and chicken broth, and stir until the cream cheese is melted and the mixture is creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the gnocchi and fresh spinach. Cover the skillet and simmer for 5-7 minutes until the gnocchi are tender and spinach wilts down.
