Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts Fresh or thawed
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 2 cups carrots, diced
  • 1 cup celery, diced

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot.
  2. Pour the chicken broth over the chicken to ensure it cooks evenly.

  4. Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper over the mixture for a flavorful kick.
Cooking

  2. Once done, remove the chicken breasts and shred them with two forks. Return the shredded chicken back to the slow cooker.
  3. Stir in the heavy cream and the gnocchi, then let it cook for an additional 30 minutes.
  4. Add your chopped spinach or kale, and stir to combine just before serving.
