Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breast pounded to even thickness or sliced in half lengthwise into cutlets
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter divided
  • 2 shallots thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 Tablespoons flour gluten-free if needed
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 lb uncooked potato gnocchi gluten-free if needed
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Combine the chicken with 1 Tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt.
  2. Warm the remaining olive oil in a large oven-safe pan over medium-high heat until shimmering, then cook chicken for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping once, until golden and just under fully cooked at 145°F. Add small amounts of water if the pan gets too brown.
  3. Remove chicken and let rest on a board.
  4. Melt 1 Tablespoon butter in the same pan over medium heat and cook shallots until soft for 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic and stir for another 1 to 2 minutes.
  5. Add remaining butter and sprinkle in flour, stirring to create a paste.
  6. Whisk in chicken broth, milk, and heavy cream. Increase heat to medium-high and whisk until sauce thickens and bubbles.
  7. Turn off heat and cut chicken into bite-sized pieces. Stir chicken and uncooked gnocchi into sauce, then top with mozzarella and parmesan.
  8. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until cheese melts and bubbles, turning the pan carefully once or twice for even browning.

Notes

  • For crisp tops, broil 2–3 minutes at the end
