Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1.5 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 0.25 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 medium sweet onion, diced
  • 2 sticks celery, finely chopped
  • 0.5 cup sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 Tbsp tomato paste
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 Tbsp pesto
  • 1 piece Parmesan rind
  • 16 oz dried potato gnocchi
  • 0.5 – 1 cup heavy cream
  • 5 oz fresh baby spinach
  • 0.5 cup grated Parmesan

Instructions

  1. Cut the boneless skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes and toss them in a bowl with kosher salt, oregano, and black pepper.
  2. In a large pot, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook until golden brown.
  3. In the same pot, add diced sweet onion and finely chopped celery, sautéing until translucent. Stir in sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and tomato paste.
  4. Pour in chicken broth, add pesto and Parmesan rind, stir, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 10-15 minutes.
  5. Return the browned chicken to the pot and stir in gnocchi. Cook until the gnocchi float to the surface.
  6. Lower the heat and stir in heavy cream, spinach, and grated Parmesan. Cook until the spinach wilts, then serve immediately.

Notes

  • Adjust salt based on personal taste.
  • Can substitute chicken with pulled rotisserie chicken or chicken thighs.
  • Use fresh oregano if available.
  • Try white pepper for a milder kick.
  • Vegetable oil works as a fine substitute for olive oil.
  • Use margarine for a dairy-free option.
  • Feel free to omit celery for a simpler soup.
  • Soaking dry sun-dried tomatoes is recommended.
  • Homemade or store-bought chicken broth works.
  • Half-and-half can be a lighter alternative to heavy cream.
  • Can substitute spinach with kale or omit.
  • Grated Parmesan can be omitted for a dairy-free finish.
