Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound potato gnocchi
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 3 cups cubed butternut squash
- 3 cups chopped kale
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toss cubed butternut squash with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and black pepper until coated evenly.
- Spread squash on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and golden.
- Heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken pieces and cook for 6 to 8 minutes until golden and fully cooked.
- Stir minced garlic and chopped sage into the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Cook gnocchi according to package directions until they float to the top, then drain.
- Add heavy cream to the skillet and stir in parmesan cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add chopped kale and cook gently until wilted.
- Fold roasted squash and cooked gnocchi into the sauce, stirring gently to coat everything evenly.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then serve hot with extra parmesan and fresh sage.
Notes
- Roast the squash in a single layer for better caramelization.
- Freshly grated parmesan melts more smoothly into the sauce.
- Add a splash of warm water or broth if the sauce becomes too thick.
- Leftovers can be reheated gently on the stovetop with a little cream or water.
