Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 6 strips bacon, chopped
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 1 pound shelf-stable potato gnocchi

Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Add the chicken to the same skillet. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Push the chicken to one side of the skillet and melt the butter. Pour in the cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine.
- Add the gnocchi and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook uncovered for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gnocchi is tender and the sauce thickens.
