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

  • 1/4 cup fresh oregano finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh Italian parsley finely chopped

Method
 

  1. In a large pot bring to boil chicken broth (I use water and granulated chicken bouillon, 1 cup water to 1 teaspoon bouillon).
  2. Cut chicken breast into 2 or 3 large chunks and add it to your boiling broth. Simmer for 15 minutes.
  3. Add veggies and continue simmering another 5 minutes.
  4. Remove chicken and let rest for a few minutes then shred or cube. (letting the chicken cool slightly will help retain moisture).
  5. Once veggies are crisp tender (total cook time about 10-15 minuteadd shredded chicken back in, fresh herbs and gnocchi.
  6. Bring to a boil and cook another 3-5 minutes until the gnocchi begins to float.
  7. Remove from heat. Add salt and pepper to taste then serve.
