Ingredients
  

Chicken and Sauce
  • 1 1/2 lb chicken thighs bone-in and skin-on
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth low-sodium recommended
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
Gnocchi and Garnish
  • 1 lb gnocchi store-bought or homemade
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper. Let them rest at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place the chicken skin-side down, cooking for 6-8 minutes until golden and crispy. Flip and cook for another 5 minutes.
  2. Once the chicken is crispy, stir in minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any bits stuck to the pan. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. Stir in heavy cream and let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes.
  5. In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and cook gnocchi according to package instructions until they float, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Drain the gnocchi and add it to the skillet with the chicken, gently tossing together.
  7. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot.
