Ingredients
• 2 large chicken breasts, cut into cubes
• 1 package gnocchi
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• ½ cup flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons minced garlic
• ⅓ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
• ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions
Prep the Chicken: In a bowl, mix together flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss the chicken cubes in the flour mixture until coated.
Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high. Add chicken and cook 4 to 5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Make the Cream Sauce: In the same skillet, add minced garlic, chicken broth, heavy cream, and Parmesan. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Season the Sauce: Add sun-dried tomatoes, oregano, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Let simmer gently over medium-low heat.
Cook the Gnocchi: Stir in the gnocchi, cover, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the gnocchi are soft and tender.
Finish and Serve: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Mix everything well, let it heat through, and serve hot.
