Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) and position a rack in the upper third. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook until softened. Transfer to a plate. Wipe out the skillet. (8 minutes)

03

Step

Melt butter in the same skillet. Whisk in flour until a paste forms. Gradually whisk in milk and broth until smooth. Simmer, whisking constantly, until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and nutmeg. (10 minutes)

04

Step

Add mushrooms, chicken, gnocchi, and spinach to the sauce. Stir until gnocchi are coated and spinach wilts. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Pour the mixture into a large baking dish. Sprinkle generously with Parmesan cheese. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and golden brown. (20 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of dry sherry or white wine to the sauce while it simmers.
Feel free to substitute the rotisserie chicken with cooked chicken breast or thighs.
If you don't have fresh spinach, frozen spinach (thawed and squeezed dry) works well.
For a richer flavor, use Gruyere or Fontina cheese in addition to, or in place of, the Parmesan.
