Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1.5 lb Chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
  • 6 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 cup Chicken broth
  • 1 lb Gnocchi, store-bought or homemade
  • Pepper To taste
  • Salt To taste
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1/2 cup Heavy cream

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Season the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down and cook until they're golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Flip the chicken over and add minced garlic and chopped parsley to the skillet, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine.
  6. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then transfer the skillet to the oven. Roast until the chicken is cooked through, about 20-25 minutes.
  7. In the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the gnocchi to the skillet to soak up the flavors.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.

Notes

For a family-style presentation, serve directly from the skillet. Pair with a green salad or roasted vegetables, and consider crusty bread for dipping in the sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
