Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 pound chicken tenders
3 teaspoons minced garlic (or 4 cloves of chopped, fresh garlic)
½ cup dry white wine
1¼ cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
Zest and juice of one lemon
1 tablespoon dried rosemary
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 package (17 ounce) gnocchi
4 cups fresh baby spinach
¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Heat olive over in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken tenders with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Add to skillet and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side (chicken will finish cooking with the rest of dish). Remove to a separate plate and set aside.
Reduce heat to medium and add garlic. Stir and cook for 1 minute. Add wine and scrape browned bits from bottom of pan. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until wine is reduced, about 1-2 minutes.
Add chicken broth, cream, zest and lemon juice, rosemary, and thyme. Stir and bring to a simmer. Then stir in gnocchi. Bring to a simmer again and return chicken to skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer chicken to cutting board and slice.
Add grated Parmesan to sauce and stir, then add in spinach and stir. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened about 2-3 minutes. Adjust seasonings, if needed. Return chicken to skillet and stir to combine. Serve immediately.

Notes

Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
To reheat on the stove: add leftovers to a skillet and warm over medium heat. You may need to add additional chicken broth and/or cream if it seems too thick.
To reheat in the microwave: microwave over medium power for 2-3 minutes, or until dish is warmed through. If cream sauce is too thick, you can add additional chicken broth and/or cream to thin out.
