Creating Lemon Chicken Gnocchi is quite simple when you follow these clear steps:

1. Cook Gnocchi: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gnocchi according to package instructions until they float. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté Chicken: While the gnocchi is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper before adding them to the pan.
3. Brown Chicken: Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden and cooked through. Remove from skillet and let it rest for a few minutes.
4. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Create Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add lemon zest and juice, then stir in the heavy cream, allowing it to thicken for about 2-3 minutes.
6. Combine Ingredients: Slice the cooked chicken and add it back into the skillet along with the gnocchi. Toss everything together to coat in the creamy lemon sauce.
7. Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and top with grated Parmesan cheese.

Each of these steps is designed to create a flavorful and cohesive dish that highlights the wonderful combination of ingredients.
