Notes

  • To ensure your chicken thighs are perfectly cooked, aim for an internal temperature of 165°F; they should be golden brown on the outside and juicy inside.
  • For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or a blend of Greek yogurt and chicken broth, but be sure to add it gradually to prevent curdling.
  • Add the gnocchi directly to the skillet without boiling them first; they will absorb the flavors and cook perfectly in the sauce.
  • If using frozen spinach, thaw and drain it well before adding to prevent excess moisture in your sauce.
  • This dish reheats beautifully; store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days, and reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat to maintain creaminess.
