Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by dicing the carrots, celery, and onion. Mince the garlic and ensure your chicken breasts are ready to go.
Cooking
  1. Place the chicken, carrots, celery, onion, and garlic into the crockpot. Pour in the chicken broth, then sprinkle the dried thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir gently.
  2. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  3. Once cooked, remove the chicken and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot.
  4. Stir in the potato gnocchi and spinach. Pour in the heavy cream. Cover and cook on high for an additional 30 minutes, or until the gnocchi is cooked through.
  5. Ladle your delicious Crockpot Chicken Gnocchi Soup into bowls and enjoy hot.

Notes

For meat substitutions, consider using halal beef or lamb, adjusting the cooking time as necessary. Cooking on low yields better flavors while the high setting is quicker. Avoid overcooking the gnocchi as they only need about 30 minutes in the crockpot.
