1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 cup white mushrooms, diced
2 tablespoons minced garlic

Instructions
1-Getting this Garlic Chicken Gnocchi Skillet just right involves a few key steps that build flavor layer by layer. Start by seasoning and browning your chicken thighs in butter for that juicy texture. Once set aside, youโll sautรฉ the onions, mushrooms, garlic, and Italian seasoning in the remaining butter to create a savory base.
2-Building the Creamy Sauce: Next, whisk in the chicken broth, followed by the half and half or cream, and then stir in the shredded mozzarella to form a rich, creamy sauce. This step is where the magic happens for your chicken gnocchi skillet. Add the cooked gnocchi and spinach, stirring them into the sauce until everything blends perfectly.
3-Finally, return the chicken to the skillet to warm through, and garnish with options like parsley, parmesan, or red pepper chili flakes. The whole process takes about 40 minutes, making it a go-to for busy evenings. Remember, bone-in thighs might need extra time, so check for doneness.
