Ingredients | Creamy Pasta Recipes With Chicken And Spinach

4 tablespoons butter

4 tablespoons olive oil

1 onion, finely chopped

½ cup celery, chopped

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

¼ cup all-purpose flour

1 (32 ounce) carton chicken broth, or to taste, divided

1 (16 ounce) package gnocchi

2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cubed

1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained

1 cup shredded carrots

½ teaspoon dried parsley flakes

½ teaspoon dried thyme

1 quart half-and-half

salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Heat butter and olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute onion, celery, and garlic until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Whisk in flour and stir until the mixture becomes thick and light golden brown, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

Bring 2 cups chicken broth to a boil in a pot. Cook gnocchi in the boiling broth until they float to the top, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer gnocchi to a plate and reserve the broth in the pot. Place chicken in the broth and return it to a boil. Cook until chicken is no longer pink inside, about 7 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate.

Stir spinach, carrots, parsley, and thyme into the saucepan with the flour mixture and place over medium heat. Stir in half-and-half and bring to a boil. Cook until starting to thicken, about 3 minutes. Add 2 cups chicken broth. Bring back to a boil and simmer until soup is thick and smooth, 10 to 15 minutes.

Stir gnocchi and chicken into the soup and season with salt and pepper.

You can use 1 cup of fresh chopped spinach leaves instead of frozen.

Try substituting 1 cup of cubed rotisserie chicken instead of chicken breast for a more roasted flavor.
