Ingredients
â–¢ 1 tablespoon butter
â–¢ 3 cloves garlic, minced
â–¢ 4 ounces cream cheese (1/2 block Philly), softened
â–¢ 1 cup heavy whipping cream
â–¢ 1 cup chicken broth
â–¢ 1 pound uncooked potato gnocchi
â–¢ 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
â–¢ 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese, divided
â–¢ 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
â–¢ Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Take the cream cheese out of the fridge at least an hour before starting, or microwave it for 20-30 seconds until very soft. Preheat the oven to 375°F and adjust the rack to the top third.
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds.
Add the cream cheese in smaller pieces, along with the cream and chicken broth. Stir constantly for 4-5 minutes until the cream cheese is fully melted.
Incorporate the gnocchi and cooked chicken into the skillet, stirring often, and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
Mix in half of the parmesan cheese, then remove the skillet from the heat.
Transfer the mixture to a 9×13 baking dish, spreading evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining parmesan and mozzarella cheese on top.
