Ingredients

4 servings

16 ounces refrigerated or shelf-stable gnocchi
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
16 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast, (cut into ½-inch cubes)
1½ teaspoons sun-dried tomato oil from the jar
1 small shallot, (minced)
2 medium garlic cloves, (minced)
1 teaspoon tomato paste
⅓ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil ((drained))
4 cups packed baby spinach, (chopped)
3 tablespoons ⅓-less-fat cream cheese ((can use full fat))
1 cup chicken broth
3 tablespoons half and half ((can use heavy cream))
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese ((plus more, for serving))

Steps

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the gnocchi to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions. Drain well, and set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Spray with oil (or drizzle a little oil in the pan). Add the chicken, and give it a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper. Cook, flipping halfway, until golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
In the same skillet, heat the sun-dried tomato oil over medium-low heat. Add the shallot and garlic and saute until they become fragrant and translucent, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook until heated through, another 1 to 2 minutes.
Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and baby spinach to the skillet. Cook until the spinach wilts, 2 to 4 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and add the cream cheese, chicken broth, half and half and oregano. Stir until the cream cheese is fully melted and the sauce is well combined.
Return the cooked chicken along with the gnocchi to the skillet and let it simmer over low heat in the sauce for a few minutes until heated through. Sprinkle with the Parmesan, if using, and serve.
