# Required Ingredients:
→ Protein
01 - 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
→ Spices & Seasonings
02 - 1 ½ tablespoons Cajun seasoning
03 - ½ teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
04 - ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
→ Vegetables
05 - 1 red bell pepper, diced
06 - 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
07 - 2 cups baby spinach
08 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
→ Gnocchi
09 - 1 pound potato gnocchi, fresh or shelf-stable
→ Other
10 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
11 - ¼ cup chicken broth or water
12 - 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving (optional)
# How-To Steps:
01 - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gnocchi according to package directions until they float, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
02 - In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. Toss the chicken pieces with Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
03 - Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and cover loosely with foil.
04 - Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet. Sauté the red onion and bell pepper for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly softened.
05 - Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
06 - Return the cooked gnocchi and chicken to the skillet. Pour in the chicken broth and add the spinach. Stir gently to combine and cook until the spinach wilts, about 1 to 2 minutes.
07 - Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, toss well, and adjust seasoning to taste. Serve immediately with additional Parmesan if desired.
