Cooking
  1. In a large pot, heat some oil over medium heat and sauté the onion until translucent.
  2. Add garlic and cook for another minute.
  3. Add the chicken breast and cook until browned on both sides.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes. Bring to a boil.
  5. Reduce heat and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Remove chicken, shred it, and return it to the pot.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream, gnocchi, Italian seasoning, spinach, salt, and pepper. Cook until the gnocchi is tender.
  7. Serve hot with grated Parmesan cheese on top.

Notes

For more depth of flavor, marinate the chicken with Italian seasoning and a bit of olive oil before cooking. Fresh spinach instead of frozen enhances the taste and texture. Don't skip the Parmesan cheese; it elevates the dish! If you have leftovers, store the soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of chicken broth or water.
