Preparation

Step 1

1 In 10-inch nonstick skillet, cook chicken 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until browned and no longer pink in the center.

2 Spray 3 to 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. In cooker, mix chicken and remaining ingredients except gnocchi and peas.

3 Cover; cook on Low heat setting 8 to 10 hours.

4 Increase heat setting to High. Stir in gnocchi and peas. Cover; cook about 30 minutes longer or until gnocchi and peas are tender.

Gnocchi are sometimes available frozen. If you use frozen gnocchi, be sure to thaw first before adding to the soup.

Plain cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup will work in this recipe, but the roasted garlic variety adds lots of flavor.
