Creamy Chicken Broccoli Gnocchi

This creamy chicken broccoli gnocchi is one of those dinners that feels way fancier than it really is. You have got golden chicken, soft gnocchi and a creamy sauce all happening in the one pan, which is always a win on a busy night.

It is quick, cosy and made with simple ingredients, but still feels like a proper dinner. The kind of meal you can chuck together without much fuss and know everyone will be keen to eat.

It is quick, creamy and all made in one pan, so there is less mess to deal with after dinner. You get tender chicken, soft gnocchi and broccoli all in the one easy meal.

Let the chicken get nice and golden before you take it out of the pan, because that adds loads of flavour. Once the chicken comes out, give the gnocchi a good stir so the cream cheese and stock turn into a smooth creamy sauce.

Serve it straight away with the golden chicken on top. This one works well as an easy family dinner when you want something comforting without a whole lot of effort.
