Description
This ultra-creamy crack chicken gnocchi recipe is the coziest comfort food you’ll ever try, made with tender chicken, pillowy gnocchi, melted cheddar, and crispy bacon in a velvety cream cheese sauce.
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
Chop chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown, about 5–7 minutes.
Reduce heat. Stir in cream cheese and chicken broth until smooth.
Add gnocchi and spinach. Cover and simmer for 5–7 minutes until gnocchi are soft.
Stir in cheddar cheese and bacon bits until melted and well combined.
Serve hot, garnished with extra cheese if desired.
Notes
For extra flavor, substitute spinach with kale or mix in sun-dried tomatoes.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of chicken broth to revive the creamy texture.
