Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs. boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1.5 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 medium white onion minced
  • 5 cloves garlic smashed and minced
  • 4 cups chopped kale packed
  • 1/3 cups sun-dried tomatoes with liquid
  • 1.5 cups chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 16- oz. potato gnocchi uncooked
  • 1/2 cup shredded parmesan + more for topping

Instructions

  • First, preheat the oven to 375ºF. Next season chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
  • Heat olive oil in a deep cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven over medium/high heat. When the olive oil is fragrant, sear chicken thighs on both sides for 2 minutes to brown. Remove chicken thighs from skillet and set aside.
  • Add butter to the skillet and melt over medium/high heat. Once melted, sauté onion and garlic for about 3 minutes or until onions are translucent.
  • Add chopped kale and sun-dried tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes. Then, add in chicken broth and heavy cream and continue to cook for 2-3 more minutes or until kale is wilted.
  • Add Italian seasoning, uncooked gnocchi, and shredded parmesan cheese and mix everything together. Submerge the chicken thighs in the sauce and veggies.
  • Bake at 375ºF for around 15 minutes or until your chicken thighs reach an internal temperature of 165ºF.
  • Once the thighs are fully cooked, let rest for 5 minutes. Then, toss everything together and make sure the thighs are nice and coated in the sauce.
  • Serve with fresh cracked black pepper and more parmesan cheese.
