Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 package gnocchi Potato gnocchi works best; fresh or refrigerated is ideal.
  • 1 whole rotisserie chicken, shredded About 3–4 cups shredded.
  • 1 medium onion, diced Adds sweetness and depth.
  • 2 stalks celery, diced Brings freshness.
  • 2 medium carrots, diced Brighten up the dish.
  • 2 cups spinach Baby spinach wilts quickly.
  • 4 cups chicken broth Use low-sodium for better control of salt.
  • 1 cup heavy cream Substitute half-and-half for lighter soup or coconut milk for dairy-free.
  • to taste salt and pepper For seasoning.
  • as needed olive oil Just a drizzle for sautéing.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pull the meat off the rotisserie chicken and shred it into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
  2. Dice the onion, celery, and carrots so they cook evenly.
  3. Rinse spinach if needed and pat dry.
Cooking
  1. Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
  2. Add the diced onion, celery, and carrots. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until softened and the onion is translucent.
  3. Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth. Bring to a gentle simmer and let the vegetables cook for another 5 minutes to meld flavors.
  4. Add the gnocchi to the simmering broth. Cook according to package directions—typically 2–4 minutes—until they float and are tender.
  5. Stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken and 2 cups spinach. Cook for 1–2 minutes until the spinach wilts and the chicken is heated through.
  6. Reduce heat to low and stir in 1 cup heavy cream. Warm gently for about 2–3 minutes, do not boil. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
  7. Serve immediately, spooning gnocchi and chicken into bowls and ladling hot broth over the top.

Notes

Pair with crusty garlic bread or a warm baguette to soak up the creamy broth. A crisp green salad with lemon vinaigrette cuts the richness nicely.
