Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 16 ounces potato gnocchi
- 2 large carrots, diced
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare your chicken by seasoning it with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the pot and sauté the diced carrots and celery in the same pot for 3-4 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Deglaze the pot with a splash of chicken broth.
- Pour in the chicken broth, bring to a boil, then add the gnocchi and return the chicken to the pot. Simmer for 8-10 minutes.
- Remove the chicken and shred it. Taste the broth, adjust seasoning, then stir in the heavy cream.
- Toss in the fresh spinach just before serving, letting it wilt.
Notes
You can substitute leftover roasted chicken for a quicker prep. Adjust seasoning with lemon for brightness if desired.
