Raise your hand if you’re obsessed with anything gnocchi. (We've all raised our hands over here.) These little potato-based dumplings deliver an extra-tender, extra-carby bite, and here, they're paired with spinach and colorful grape tomatoes, then tossed in a creamy sauce. To top things off—in this case literally—there’s a layer of garlicky panko breadcrumbs. Once you take a bite, don’t be surprised when you find yourself making excuses to whip up the dish again and again!

Cooking Oil
• Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce. • Halve tomatoes.
• Melt 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add panko and cook, stirring, until golden and toasted, 2-3 minutes. • Stir in half the garlic powder (you’ll use the rest later) and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. • Turn off heat; transfer to a plate and season with salt and pepper. Wipe out pan.
Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for panko over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.
• Once water is boiling, add gnocchi to pot. Cook until tender, 3-4 minutes. • Drain and set aside.
• While gnocchi cooks, melt 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in pan used for panko over medium-high heat. Add remaining garlic powder and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. • Stir in 1⁄3 cup water (1⁄2 cup for 4), stock concentrate, and cream cheese. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until combined and creamy, 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Stir tomatoes and spinach into pan with sauce. Cook, stirring, until spinach is wilted and tomatoes are softened, 3-4 minutes.
• Stir drained gnocchi into pan with sauce until thoroughly coated. (TIP: If needed, add a splash or two of water until gnocchi is coated in a creamy sauce.) Taste and season with salt and pepper. • Divide gnocchi between bowls and top with Parmesan. Sprinkle with as many garlic butter breadcrumbs as you like. Add a pinch of chili flakes to taste and serve.
