Crock-Pot Chicken and Gnocchi

Tips for the Best Results

• Cut your veggies small for even cooking and easier eating for the kids.
• Use a rotisserie chicken for a quicker prep time—just shred and mix it in before adding the gnocchi.
• Don’t skip the butter; it adds richness to the dish that makes it feel extra special.
• Keep an eye on the gnocchi as they cook; they’re done when they float to the top!
• If you’re short on time, you can cook on high for 3 hours instead of low.

Variations & Substitutions

• Swap the chicken for turkey or even cooked sausage for a different flavor.
• Use frozen gnocchi instead of fresh; just add them directly to the pot without thawing.
• For a lighter version, replace the heavy cream with unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk.
• Add in some diced bell peppers or zucchini for extra veggies and color.
• Spice it up by adding in some crushed red pepper flakes or a splash of hot sauce.

Storing Leftovers

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also freeze it for up to 2 months, though the texture of the gnocchi may change slightly.

Reheating

Reheat on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of chicken broth to keep it moist. You can also microwave it in 30-second bursts at 50% power, stirring in between to heat evenly.
