  • 2 large carrots (peeled and sliced)
  • 2 stalks celery (sliced)
  • 1 small onion (diced)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)

Instruction

  • Add the chicken broth to the slow cooker.
  • Then, place in the chicken breasts and add the carrots, celery, onion, and garlic over top.
  • Sprinkle with the Italian seasoning, salt, and red pepper flakes.
  • Cook on high for 4 hours on high or 6 hours on low
  • Remove the chicken from the crock pot and shred it. (I like to use the food processor but you can shred it with two forks as well).
  • Return the chicken to the slow cooker and add the gnocchi and spinach.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the heavy cream and cornstarch together thoroughly and pour it over everything in the slow cooker and stir to combine well.
  • Cook for an additional 30 minutes on high or until the gnocchi are tender.
  • Enjoy!!
