Delicious creamy crack chicken gnocchi recipe with detailed instructions and nutritional information.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 lb gnocchi
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Add onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  3. Step 3: Stir in cream of mushroom soup, heavy cream, milk, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and stir in the cooked chicken. Simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  4. Step 4: Cook gnocchi according to package directions. Drain well.
  5. Step 5: Add cooked gnocchi to the skillet with the chicken and sauce. Stir to combine and heat through, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Step 6: Stir in cheddar cheese (if using) until melted. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently in a saucepan on the stovetop, adding a splash of milk if needed to loosen the sauce.
  • Serve this comforting dish with a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious creamy sauce.
  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce along with the thyme, or use a different type of cheese like Gruyère for a sharper taste.
