Step By Step Instructions

STEP ONE – Add the butter and olive oil to a large pot and heat over medium-high heat.

STEP TWO – Add the chicken, then season with salt, oregano, and pepper. Cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring frequently. The chicken will not be fully cooked at this point and will finish cooking in the soup.

STEP THREE – Add the onion and celery and cook for 3–4 minutes, until softened.

STEP FOUR – Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, tomato paste, and pesto. Cook for another 1–2 minutes.

STEP FIVE – Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil.

STEP SIX – Reduce the heat and simmer for 10–15 minutes.

STEP SEVEN – Add the gnocchi and simmer for another 3–5 minutes.

STEP EIGHT – Stir in the heavy cream, spinach, and Parmesan cheese. Cook for 2–3 minutes more, then serve hot with extra Parmesan if desired.
