Hey there, foodies! Get ready to absolutely wow your family with this mouthwatering Tuscan Garlic Butter Chicken and Gnocchi dish that’s been my go-to for those “I need to impress everyone” dinners. Trust me, this recipe has saved me during countless family gatherings, and the best part? It looks fancy but is totally doable!
Let me tell you, the first time I made this, my mother-in-law actually asked for the recipe (I know, right?). That’s when I knew I had a winner on my hands!
What You’ll Need:
– 4 chicken breasts (get the good stuff, ladies!)
– 1 package of potato gnocchi
– 6 tablespoons butter (no skimping here!)
– 8 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 cups cherry tomatoes
– 2 cups baby spinach
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1/2 cup white wine (and a glass for the chef 😉)
– Fresh basil
– Parmesan cheese
– Salt and pepper to taste
Now, let’s get cooking!
1. Season those chicken breasts generously. I mean, don’t be shy with the salt and pepper!
1. In a large skillet (you know, that fancy one you got as a wedding gift), melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes each side. Set aside.
1. In the same pan (hello, flavor town!), add remaining butter and garlic. Once you smell that heavenly aroma (about 1 minute), add the wine and let it reduce.

1. Add the cream, tomatoes, and gnocchi. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the gnocchi is tender and the sauce thickens.
1. Return the chicken to the pan, add spinach, and let it wilt into the sauce.
1. Top with fresh basil and plenty of parmesan cheese.
Y’all, when I tell you this dish is a show-stopper, I mean it! The sauce is creamy dreamy, the chicken is juicy, and those little gnocchi pillows? Heaven!
Pro tip: Want to make this extra special? Add some crispy prosciutto on top. Game. Changer.
