Description
A creamy and cheesy dish featuring gnocchi, shredded chicken, and a blend of savory ingredients including cream cheese and crispy bacon.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 package (16 oz) gnocchi
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 4 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup shredded cheese (e.g., cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Boil the gnocchi: In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook according to the package instructions until they float to the top. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes, so don’t walk away!
- Mix ingredients: While the gnocchi is cooking, grab a separate skillet. Combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, crumbled bacon, and garlic powder. Stir together until well mixed and creamy.
- Simmer: Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste, then let it simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes until everything is heated through.
- Melt the cheese: Mix in the shredded cheese until it melts and everything becomes deliciously gooey.
- Serve it up: Serve warm and garnish with chopped green onions.
Notes
The dish thickens more as it cools; if it’s too runny, give it a moment to set.
