Why this recipe belongs in your week
Creamy sun-dried tomato chicken gnocchi brings golden chicken, pillowy gnocchi, spinach, garlic, parmesan, basil, and a silky tomato cream sauce into one cozy skillet-style dinner. It feels special enough for a saved recipe but stays simple enough for a weeknight.
