Instructions
Creating this delicious Crack Chicken Gnocchi is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:
1. Cook Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and season them with salt, pepper, and ranch seasoning. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.
2. Shred Chicken: Once the chicken has cooled slightly, shred it using two forks.
3. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the cream cheese and chicken broth. Stir and let it melt, mixing everything until well combined.
4. Add Cream: Slowly pour in the heavy cream, continuing to whisk and combine.
5. Add Gnocchi: Gently stir in the gnocchi, ensuring they get coated in that creamy sauce.
6. Combine Chicken and Cheese: Add the shredded chicken and cheddar cheese to the skillet. Stir until the cheese is melted and combined.
7. Simmer: Let the mixture simmer for about 3-5 minutes, allowing the gnocchi to cook and absorb some flavors.
8. Taste and Adjust: Taste the sauce and season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
9. Serve: Once everything is mixed and heated through, remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions.
