Ingredients

Scale

  • 16 oz fresh or frozen gnocchi
  • 4 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup crispy bacon bits

  • Onion powder
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Instructions

  1. Chop chicken into bite-sized pieces and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add chicken and cook until golden brown (5-7 minutes).
  3. Lower heat and stir in cream cheese and chicken broth until smooth.
  4. Add gnocchi and spinach; cover and simmer for 5-7 minutes until gnocchi are tender.
