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

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

  1. Cook the chicken by poaching in boiling water for about 15 minutes, then shred it.
  2. In a large saucepan, combine shredded chicken, ranch seasoning, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and cream cheese over medium heat until creamy.
  3. Cook gnocchi according to package instructions, then drain.
  4. Add cooked gnocchi and frozen peas to the chicken mixture and simmer for 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted.
  6. 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.
