Ingredients
  

  • 2 large chicken breasts Sliced into cubes for quick cooking and easy eating.
  • 1/2 cup flour This will help create a golden crust on the chicken.
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder A blend of spices to enhance flavor.
  • 2 TBSP olive oil For sautéing the chicken to perfection.
  • 2 TBSP butter Adds richness to the sauce.
  • 2 TBSP minced garlic For that aromatic touch that elevates the dish.
  • 1 cup chicken broth Provides depth and enhances the overall flavor profile.
  • 1 cup heavy cream Creates a creamy texture that binds everything together beautifully.
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese Adds a savory element and thickens the sauce.
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp thyme
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes To bring a delightful herbaceous note with just a hint of spice.

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Prepare Your Dry Ingredients - Start by mixing together flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in a bowl. This seasoned flour mixture will be essential for dredging your chicken breasts, creating a flavorful crust when cooked.
  2. Step 2: Dredge the Chicken - Take your cubed chicken breasts and coat them evenly in the flour mixture. This step not only adds flavor but also helps in achieving that golden brown finish during cooking.
  3. Step 3: Cook the Chicken - In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil and butter until sizzling hot. Add your dredged chicken pieces and cook them for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Step 4: Create the Sauce - Once your chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add minced garlic followed by chicken broth, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until well combined and heated through.
  5. Step 5: Combine All Ingredients - To this creamy mixture, add chopped sun dried tomatoes along with oregano, thyme, and red pepper flakes for added flavor. Bring it to a gentle simmer before adding gnocchi directly into the skillet, stirring to ensure they are well coated.
