½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
¼ teaspoon pepper (or to taste)

6 tablespoons butter (unsalted)

1 cup fresh parsley (chopped)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
Cook the gnocchi according to package instructions.
Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Toss them well so each piece is fully seasoned.
Blend the butter, garlic, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a food processor until the mixture is finely chopped.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 5 minutes or until golden brown.
Add the heavy cream and the garlic butter mixture to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.
