Step 1: Cook the Chicken
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt, pepper, and dried Italian herbs. Cook until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 2: Sauté the Garlic
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it – we want that gorgeous garlic flavor, not bitterness!

Step 3: Add Chicken Broth and Gnocchi
Pour in the chicken broth and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. These little flavor bombs will make your sauce even more delicious! Add the gnocchi and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gnocchi starts to become tender.

Step 4: Create the Creamy Sauce
Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir gently to combine and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce starts to thicken.

Step 5: Bring It All Together
Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet along with the grated Parmesan cheese. Stir everything together until the cheese is melted and the chicken is heated through.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve hot. Enjoy your creamy, garlicky masterpiece!
