olive garden copycat chicken gnocchi - crock pot
(2 ratings)
For those of us who love Olive Garden's Chicken Gnocchi Soup but like the convenience of a crock pot. To make it super easy, use chicken from a rotisserie chicken, even though not all of the meat will be white meat. Original recipe calls for 1/2 and 1/2. To tone down the calories, use milk for 1 cup of the added dairy. OR to make it creamier and richer, sub. 1 cup of heavy cream for 1 cup of the 1/2 and 1/2!
