Ingredients
3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
16 oz fresh or frozen gnocchi
8 oz cream cheese
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
4 cups fresh spinach
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup crispy bacon bits
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Prepare your ingredients by chopping chicken into bite-sized pieces.
2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown, about 5–7 minutes.
3. Lower heat, add cream cheese and chicken broth, stirring until smooth.
4. Toss in gnocchi and spinach. Cover and simmer for 5–7 minutes until gnocchi are tender.
5. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese and bacon bits until melted.
6. Serve hot in bowls, garnished with extra cheese if desired.
Notes
Use rotisserie chicken to speed up the prep if you’re in a hurry.
Try adding mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, or peas for extra flavor and color.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat gently with a splash of broth or milk.
