Preparation
- Start by gathering and measuring out all your ingredients. This includes dicing the chicken breast, mincing the garlic, and washing the spinach.

- Toss the cooked gnocchi into the skillet and mix until well coated with the creamy sauce.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve hot.
