Instructions

Toss the diced chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Herbes de Provence.
Warm olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat and then brown the chicken until cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes.
Remove the chicken and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium and melt butter in the same pot.
Add onion, celery, and shredded carrots and cook for about 4 minutes until they soften and release aroma.
Mix in flour until no longer visible and vegetables have a light coating.
Gradually pour in chicken broth and heavy cream while stirring to combine.
Stir in Italian seasoning, thyme, and nutmeg.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and then reduce to a simmer.
Add back the cooked chicken along with spinach and gnocchi.
Cover and let simmer for 8 minutes until the gnocchi are tender and soup thickens.
Check seasoning and add more salt or pepper if needed.
Serve hot and enjoy with garlic breadsticks if you like.
