Creamy Chicken And Broccoli Gnocchi

Shop-bought gnocchi is one of those staples in my pantry. I always have it because when I am out of ideas, I know I can come up with something pretty delicious using a few packets of potato gnocchi. This creamy chicken and broccoli gnocchi is a prime example. One night last week, I actually forgot about dinner. Yeah. That happened. Blame it on the end-of-year-rush or just being tired or just being ready for a holiday but I just completely forgot about it. 20 minutes before we usually have dinner the kids came to me while I was typing out recipes asking what we’re having for dinner and why I’m not cooking yet. Um. Mild panic. I very calmly explained that I am cooking something really fast tonight so don’t need to spend an hour in the kitchen. (White lies are essential to parenting right?) I rushed to the kitchen and thankfully found a packet of chicken breasts ready to be used in the fridge. I grabbed a packet of gnocchi and some broccoli and rustled up this dish. It was so good, I just had to share it with you guys. Because I know I’m not the only one that that’s happened to. Right? (Please tell me I’m not the only loony who has forgotten about dinner!!) I just love creamy chicken anything and this gnocchi was such a great dinner. We ate it out of bowls with our feet on the couch because listen, at the end of the year I couldn’t care less about the rules anymore, and it was just so luscious. We’ve thankfully had a few cooler days with loads of rain lately and some nights you just want comfort in a bowl right? This is that. Plus it takes less than 30 minutes from prep to plate so we’re all winning.
