Gorgonzola Gnocci with Spinach and Chicken



Y'all, I have a treat for you today; a quick and tasty recipe that tastes much more complicated than it is - Gorgonzola Gnocci. There is nothing healthy about this recipe but sometimes you need some hearty comfort food!

INGREDIENTS

  • GNOCCI
  • GORGONZOLA CHEESE 
  • FRESH SPINACH
  • BUTTER 
  • HEAVY CREAM
  • CHICKEN
  • GRANNY SMITH APPLE
  • WHITE WINE (or whatever you have, I used Rosé because it was already open)
  • SALT


DIRECTIONS

Cook Gnocci according to directions on the package.  Don't over cook, it literally takes like 2-3 minutes and they will begin to float to the top.

In a sauce pan, melt 1 tbsp of butter over medium heat and add in enough fresh spinach to fill the pan. Sprinkle with salt and let simmer for a few minutes.  Add in cooked shredded chicken.  Pour a 1/4 cup of white wine and simmer for another 2-3 minutes.  Slowly stir in a 1/4 cup of gorgonzola cheese.  Continue stirring until the cheese melts.  Lower the temperature to low and slowly stir in 1/2 cup cream.  Add in the gnocci and serve!

  • I added diced granny smith apples to mine because I love the crunch and sour flavor with the gorgonzola.
  • Bacon crumbles are also amazing with this recipe, just add them to the top before serving.
