Season the chicken chunks with salt and pepper, then heat one tablespoon of olive oil in your skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until they’re golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet. Toss in the gnocchi and cook over medium-high heat, pressing them down gently. Let them sit undisturbed for a few minutes, until they turn golden and crispy on the bottom.
Stir the gnocchi and continue cooking until most sides are crispy, about 5 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic to the pan, stirring constantly until fragrant and slightly caramelized, about 1 minute.
Reduce the heat to medium. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, mixing everything together. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes so the flavors meld, and the garlic infuses the dish.
Once everything is hot and well-coated with the garlic pan juices, taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. The dish should look golden, crispy, and fragrant with garlic.
Serve your garlic chicken and gnocchi hot, straight from the skillet for maximum crunch and flavor. Enjoy the crispy textures and rich aromas!
