Ingredients
- 8-10 cups chicken broth
- 1 lb chicken breast boneless skinless
- 2 cups carrots chopped
- 1 large onion chopped
- 2-3 stalks celery chopped
- 16 oz potato gnocchi prepackaged or homemade
- 3/4 cup fresh basil finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh oregano finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh Italian parsley finely chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
Method
- In a large pot bring to boil chicken broth (I use water and granulated chicken bouillon, 1 cup water to 1 teaspoon bouillon).
- Cut chicken breast into 2 or 3 large chunks and add it to your boiling broth. Simmer for 15 minutes.
- Add veggies and continue simmering another 5 minutes.
- Remove chicken and let rest for a few minutes then shred or cube. (letting the chicken cool slightly will help retain moisture).
- Once veggies are crisp tender (total cook time about 10-15 minuteadd shredded chicken back in, fresh herbs and gnocchi.
- Bring to a boil and cook another 3-5 minutes until the gnocchi begins to float.
- Remove from heat. Add salt and pepper to taste then serve.
