Ingredients
- 2 lbs. chicken breast
- 1 lb. potato gnocchi
- 2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 10 oz. can low-fat condensed cream of celery soup
- 10 oz. can of low-fat condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup of carrots, chopped
- 1 cup Onion, diced
- 1 cup celery, chopped
- 1 tbsp garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
Instructions - Slow Cooker / Crock Pot
- Place the chicken, carrots, onion, celery, garlic, seasonings, and broth in a crockpot or slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours or low for 6-8 hours. Youll shred the chicken directly in the crockpot after the cooking time has been reached.
- Next, add the condensed soups, and gnocchi. Stir and replace the cover. Cook for another 45 minutes 1 hour until the soup has thickened and the gnocchi has softened.
Instructions - Instant Pot
- Place the chicken breasts inside the Instant Pot. Add seasoning, garlic, and veggies. Pour the broth over the chicken.
- Place the lid on and move the valve to sealing. Press manual pressure and set the timer to 10 minutes high pressure. Youll notice the Instant Pot will start to come to pressure first and then the timer will begin. It can take 8-10 minutes to come to pressure.
- When the cook time is up, let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes, then do a quick release for any remaining pressure. Carefully open and remove the lid. Check the internal temperature of the chicken to make sure its 165F or higher. If its not, seal again and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Strain the remaining broth in the Instant Pot to use for soups. Shred the chicken with two forks or an electric mixer and use as desired. Add more broth on top to keep the chicken juicy.
- Add remaining ingredients and let simmer for 20-30 mins.
