Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound gnocchi

- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions
- Cook the gnocchi: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, add the gnocchi and cook until they float, about 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside.

- Create the sauce by adding chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Incorporate Parmesan cheese and lemon juice, mixing until the cheese melts into the sauce.
- Combine the cooked gnocchi and sliced chicken in the skillet, stirring to coat in the sauce.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
