# Everything You’ll Need:

02 - 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
03 - 0.5 teaspoon salt
04 - 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
05 - 0.5 teaspoon paprika
06 - 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder

→ Fats and Oils

07 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
08 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

→ Aromatics

09 - 2 tablespoons minced garlic

→ Liquids

10 - 1 cup chicken broth
11 - 1 cup heavy cream

→ Cheese

12 - 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

→ Herbs and Spices

13 - 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
14 - 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
15 - 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes

→ Produce

16 - 0.33 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes

→ Pasta

17 - 1 package gnocchi (about 16 ounces)

# Steps to Cook:

01 - Combine flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder in a mixing bowl, whisking until evenly blended.
02 - Dredge chicken cubes in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.
03 - Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken cubes for 4-5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove and set aside.
04 - Add minced garlic, chicken broth, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese to the same skillet. Stir continuously over medium heat until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth.
05 - Incorporate sun-dried tomatoes, red pepper flakes, oregano, and thyme into the sauce. Reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer for a few minutes to meld flavors.
06 - Add gnocchi directly to the skillet. Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes until gnocchi become tender and start to absorb the sauce.
07 - Return cooked chicken to the skillet. Gently toss to combine all components evenly. Serve immediately while hot.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked safely. Do not overcook gnocchi to maintain tenderness.
