Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless & skinless chicken breasts
- 3 medium carrots (peeled and diced)
- 2 celery stalks (diced)
- 1 small onion (diced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 10.5-ounce can cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half)
- 1 16-ounce package potato gnocchi (shelf-stable or refrigerated)
- 2 cups fresh baby spinach leaves
- ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese (plus more for serving)
- Parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker. Add the carrots, celery, onion, and garlic right on top.
- Pour in the chicken broth and cream of chicken soup, then stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until everything’s combined.
- Cover and cook on low for 5–6 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easy to shred.
- Take the chicken out, shred it with two forks, then add it back into the slow cooker.
- Stir in the gnocchi and heavy cream, cover, and cook on high for another 30–40 minutes until the gnocchi are soft and the soup has thickened into creamy perfection.
- Finally, stir in the spinach and Parmesan. Let it cook for another 5–10 minutes, just until the spinach wilts.
- Serve, and enjoy!
