- 1 pound of chicken breast, diced

- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
Carbohydrates
- 1 pack of potato gnocchi (about 16 ounces)
Liquids and Fats
- 4 cups of chicken broth
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
Seasonings
- 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste

- Cook Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced chicken breast, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Sauté Aromatics: Add chopped onions and minced garlic to the pot with the chicken. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the onions are softened and fragrant.
- Add Broth: Pour in the chicken broth, stir to combine, and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
- Add Gnocchi and Vegetables: Add the potato gnocchi and frozen mixed vegetables to the pot. Stir well, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the gnocchi is tender.
- Add Cream and Seasonings: Pour in the heavy cream, add the dried thyme, and stir to combine all ingredients. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes until the cream has thickened slightly and flavors meld. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve: Spoon the creamy chicken and gnocchi mixture into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot for a comforting meal.
