- 1 pound potato gnocchi cooked according to package and drained
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs seasoned with salt and pepper to taste
- 1.5 teaspoon paprika
- 5 tablespoons butter or ghee
- 1 medium yellow onion diced

- 1 cup chicken broth
- ½ cup half and half or heavy whipping cream

Instructions
- Season chicken with salt, pepper and paprika. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter or ghee in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
