Ingredients
1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts 2 carrots, peeled and diced 2 celery stalks, diced 1 medium onion, diced 3 cloves garlic, minced 4 cups chicken broth 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning Salt and black pepper, to taste 1 pound potato gnocchi (shelf-stable or refrigerated) 1 cup heavy cream 2 cups baby spinach, roughly chopped 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese Olive oil or butter (optional, for sautéing) Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
1. Dice vegetables, mince garlic, and measure all ingredients. 2. Place chicken breasts in slow cooker. Add carrots, celery, onion, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Pour in chicken broth. 3. Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender. 4. Remove chicken, shred with two forks, and return to pot. 5. Stir in gnocchi, heavy cream, spinach, and Parmesan. Cover and cook on high for 20–30 minutes more, until gnocchi are tender. 6. Ladle into bowls, garnish with parsley and extra Parmesan, and serve hot.
Notes
• Use full-fat cream to prevent curdling. • Add spinach just at the end for bright color and tender texture. • Sauté vegetables beforehand for deeper flavor if desired. • For freezer prep, freeze before adding cream and spinach, then add those fresh when reheating.
