One Pan Creamy Chicken & Gnocchi

Directions

1. Season chicken with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add chicken and cook until golden, 4 minutes per side. Remove from skillet.
2. Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add shallot and mushrooms and cook until golden, 5 minutes. Add garlic, spice blend, and cook until fragrant, 1 minute more. Add balsamic, and broth and scrape up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan, then slowly add in half and half. Bring to a simmer and season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Stir in gnocchi and return chicken to pan. Let simmer until chicken is cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°,, 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Add mozzarella and stir until melted, then add spinach and stir until wilted. Season with more salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with Parmesan cheese and fresh basil.
