Notes
Don’t Overcook the Chicken: Ensure the chicken is cooked just until browned to keep it juicy. Cook Gnocchi in Broth: Cooking gnocchi in the broth instead of water enhances the flavor. Adjust the Consistency: If the sauce is too thick, add more chicken broth or cream to reach your desired consistency. Garnish Generously: A good sprinkle of parsley and Parmesan can elevate the dish’s visual appeal and flavor.
