Notes

To make this on the stovetop:
  • Cook and shred the chicken first. In a large pot, combine the cooked chicken, carrots, celery, garlic, salt, pepper, and chicken broth. Simmer on medium until the celery is tender. Cook gnocchi separately according to package instructions, then stir in the gnocchi, flour, and heavy cream. Heat for 20 minutes, add the spinach, and cook just until wilted.
