Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 6 Slices bacon chopped
  • 1 Onion chopped
  • 2 Carrots chopped
  • 2 Garlic cloves minced
  • 1 8-10 ounce boneless skinless Chicken breast
  • 4 cups Chicken broth low sodium
  • 1 Rosemary sprig
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground Black Pepper
  • 1 Pound fresh Gnocchi regular or gluten-free
  • 2 cups fresh Spinach chopped
  • ½ cup Heavy cream
  • cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Set the Instant Pot on the SAUTE setting. Add the olive oil and heat.
  • Add the chopped bacon and cook until cooked thoroughly, around 5 minutes.
  • Add the onions and carrots and cook until the onion is slightly translucent, around 5 minutes more.
  • Add the garlic, rosemary sprig, thyme and Italian seasoning and cook until fragrant, around 1 minute.
  • Pour in a little bit of the stock and scrape any stuck food particles that are sticking to the bottom of the Instant Pot insert. NOTE: this will prevent a BURN warning.
  • Add the chicken breast and rest of the stock.
  • Close the lid and valve and set on high pressure for 10 minutes.
  • Allow a NATURAL RELEASE for 5 minutes. Then perform a QUICK RELEASE to release any remaining pressure.
  • Remove the chicken breast and rosemary sprig.
  • Select the SAUTE setting and add the gnocchi. Cook until all the gnocchi have floated to the top of the soup (2-3 minutes).
  • While cooking the gnocchi use two forks to shred the chicken breast.
  • After the gnocchi is done cooking turn off the Instant Pot. Stir in the cheese and spinach. Stir for 1 minute until the spinach begins to wilt.
  • Add the shredded chicken and stir in the heavy cream. Serve hot!
