Gnocchi with Chicken and Bacon<\/h2>\n

This “Wicked Easy” one-pan comfort food recipe consists of pillowy gnocchi, crispy bacon, and tender chicken cooked in a creamy garlic sauce!<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

These are the simple ingredients needed to make the Gnocchi with chicken and crispy bacon.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Cook the cut-up bacon in a deep skillet over medium heat stirring frequently. Cook until it is crispy, about 10 minutes.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

While the bacon is cooking, cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and then season with salt and pepper.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When the bacon is cooked, remove it from the pan and set aside. Leave about a tablespoon of the bacon grease in the pan and discard the rest.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Add the seasoned chicken pieces to the hot pan and cook in the bacon grease for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring often, until the chicken is seared and turns white.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Add the uncooked potato gnocchi to the pan with the other ingredients, cover, and cook for 5 minutes.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Continue cooking the gnocchi in the creamy garlic sauce uncovered for a few minutes until the sauce reduces and thickens to the desired consistency.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When the gnocchi is cooked, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper.\u00a0 Then plate up and serve immediately, topped with additional Parmesan cheese and optional chopped fresh herbs.<\/h3>\n

NOTE:\u00a0<\/strong> I often use the shelf-stable gnocchi found in the pasta aisle of my local grocery store, especially if I don’t have any of my homemade gnocchi on hand in the freezer.<\/h3>\n

No need to pre-cook the gnocchi, as it will cook right in the sauce of this recipe.<\/h3>\n
