Sear the Chicken – Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, season with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs, and cook until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Make the Garlic Cream Sauce – In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
Cook the Gnocchi – Add the uncooked gnocchi directly to the sauce, stirring to coat. Let them simmer for 3-4 minutes until they become soft and tender, absorbing the creamy flavors.
Bring Everything Together – Return the cooked chicken to the pan and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Let everything simmer for another minute until the sauce thickens and coats every bite.
Garnish and Serve – Remove from heat and top with fresh basil leaves. Serve hot and enjoy this creamy, garlicky delight
