Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 medium carrots sliced
  • 2 celery stalks sliced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 package 16 ounces gnocchi
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • Juice of 1 lemon

Method
 

  1. In a large slow cooker, heat the olive oil on the sauté setting (if available). Add the diced onion, minced garlic, sliced carrots, and sliced celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
  2. Stir in the dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and add the chicken breasts. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  4. Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and gnocchi. Cover and cook on high for an additional 30 minutes, or until the gnocchi are cooked through.
  6. Add the fresh spinach, chopped parsley, and lemon juice. Stir well and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving.
