Description

Indulge in creamy, velvety gnocchi enveloped in a savory ranch-seasoned sauce with tender shredded chicken.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breast, cooked and shredded
  • 1 package gnocchi
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the gnocchi in a large pot of boiling salted water according to the package instructions, roughly 2-3 minutes, until they rise to the surface. Drain well and set aside.
  2. Prepare the sauce by combining heavy cream, chicken broth, ranch seasoning, and shredded cheese in the same pot over medium heat. Stir continuously until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
  3. Combine the shredded chicken and the cooked gnocchi into the sauce, gently mixing until everything is evenly coated.
  4. Season your dish with salt and pepper, adjusting to achieve your desired flavor.
  5. Serve warm, garnished with chopped green onions for added freshness.

Notes

For added flavor, consider using rotisserie chicken and feel free to customize with vegetables like spinach or mushrooms.
