Equipment

  • 1 9x13 baking dish
  • 1 medium sized pot

Ingredients

  • 3 celery stalks finely diced
  • 3 carrots finely diced
  • ½ yellow onion finely diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • ½ cup whole milk or heavy cream
  • ½ tablespoon dried thyme
  • ½ tablespoon dried oregano
  • ½ tablespoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon sage
  • salt to taste
  • 2-3 cups baby spinach
  • ¾ lb cooked chicken breast cubed or shredded
  • 12 oz potato gnocchi cooked al dente
  • 2 cups breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese shredded

Instructions

  • In a medium-sized pot over medium heat, sauté the celery, carrots, and onion for 5 minutes or until beginning to soften.
  • Next, add in the garlic and flour and stir until the flour coats the veggies. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes. The veggies should start to get sticky.
  • Then add in the broth, milk/cream, salt, and spices. Stir and let this simmer for 5-10 minutes or until the broth starts to thicken.
  • Once the sauce has thickened, remove the pot from the heat and stir in the spinach, allowing it to soften.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • In a greased baking dish, add and spread out the chicken and gnocchi. Pour the veggie broth over top and spread.
  • Top the dish with breadcrumbs followed by shredded parmesan cheese.
  • Place the dish in the oven for 30-40 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown.
  • Let the dish sit for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
