Gathering the right ingredients is key to achieving that irresistible flavor. Here’s what you’ll need to make Creamy Crack Chicken Gnocchi:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 pound gnocchi
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup frozen peas
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
These ingredients are easily accessible and can often be found in your pantry or local grocery store. I love how simple it is to create something so delightful!
Instructions
- Cook the chicken by poaching in boiling water for about 15 minutes, then shred it.
- In a large saucepan, combine shredded chicken, ranch seasoning, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and cream cheese over medium heat until creamy.
- Cook gnocchi according to package instructions, then drain.
- Add cooked gnocchi and frozen peas to the chicken mixture and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted.
- Serve warm, garnished with parsley if desired.
Notes
- For quicker chicken preparation, consider using a rotisserie chicken.
- This dish can be made ahead and reheated, but the gnocchi may become softer.
