This is probably going to be my new go-to meal. It is SO good - and even better - only 450 calories! Don't worry, it is still very filling. Another positive is this recipe takes less than 20 minutes! If you're not familiar with gnocchi, it is very similar to a dumpling; it has a very doughy consistency. So if you are not a fan of gnocchi or dumplings, you may not like this meal. However, for anyone else, I highly recommend this meal! I can honestly say that I could not tell the difference between this cauliflower gnocchi and traditional gnocchi. It is so good. I have tons of ideas for other recipes with cauli gnocchi, so keep your eye out for more to come.
Ingredients
1 bag Trader Joe's cauliflower gnocchi

Garlic salt
Olive oil
Instructions

3) Once chicken is cooked through, add spinach and season with garlic salt
4) Stir spinach in with chicken well and cover skillet
