INGREDIENTS:
1 medium yellow onion, diced
6 slices bacon, chopped
14 ounces (400 grams) boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
Kosher salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 pound 2 ounces (500 grams) potato gnocchi
1 1/4 cups hot chicken broth
1/2 scant cup heavy cream
2/3 cup grated cheddar cheese
Thinly sliced green onions or chopped chives, for serving
RECIPE:
1. Place the bacon in a large cold skillet. Set the skillet over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is crisp and the fat has rendered, about 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving about 2 tablespoons of fat in the skillet.
2. Add the onion to the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until it begins to soften.
3. Add the chicken, garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, a small pinch of kosher salt, and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 6 to 8 minutes, until the chicken is golden and nearly cooked through.
4. Stir in the gnocchi, then pour in the hot chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook uncovered for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gnocchi are tender, the chicken reaches 165°F, and the sauce has thickened.
5. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cheddar until melted and smooth. If the sauce becomes too thick, loosen it with a splash of chicken broth.
6. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional kosher salt and black pepper. Top with the reserved bacon and sliced green onions or chives, then serve immediately.
