Ingredients

1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs
2 carrots peeled and finely chopped
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon herb and garlic seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
12 oz evaporated milk (for later)
18 oz dried gnocchi (1 package, for later)
2 oz baby spinach (for later)

Instructions

Add chicken, carrots, seasonings, and cornstarch to slow cooker
Toss to coat well
Slowly stir in chicken broth, stirring to make sure cornstarch dissolves
Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-8
Shred chicken with forks (or break apart into large chunks)
Add cream, gnocchi and spinach
Cover and return to high heat for 15-30 minutes until gnocchi is cooked tender and soup is fully heated through

Notes

Instead of herb and garlic seasoning, you can use 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning + 1 teaspoon onion powder + 1 teaspoon garlic powder

After cooking, taste and add additional salt as needed, I added another 1/2 teaspoon.

Chicken can be chopped before cooking or added in whole pieces and shredded after cooking.
