Preparation

Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add garlic and carrots, cooking for 3–4 minutes until softened.
Add chicken, chicken broth, and Italian seasoning. Simmer for 20–25 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked.
Remove the chicken, shred it with two forks, and return the shredded chicken to the pot.
Stir in potato gnocchi and cook for 3–5 minutes until tender.
Add fresh spinach and heavy cream. Stir and simmer for another 2–3 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.
Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm.

Notes

Serve warm in bowls, pairing well with crusty bread or a simple salad. A sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese on top can enhance the flavor. For storage, keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days or freeze for up to two months. Be aware that the gnocchi may become softer once thawed. You can add other vegetables like celery or bell peppers for extra nutrition.
