Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb 3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts Chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 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

Spices

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preparation

  • Chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

Cooking

  • Heat some oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the chopped chicken and cook until it turns golden brown, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Lower the heat and add the cream cheese and chicken broth to the skillet, stirring until smooth and creamy.
  • Toss in the gnocchi and spinach, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for about 5 to 7 minutes until the gnocchi is tender.
  • Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and bacon bits, mixing until the cheese melts and everything is hot.
  • Serve hot in bowls, adding extra cheese on top if desired.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days. Reheat on the stove with a splash of chicken broth to maintain creaminess.
